Stand on Principle: Honduras Says "No to Zelaya"

Summary of the situation from the Miami Herald:
First Zelaya scheduled a national vote on a constitutional convention. After the Honduran supreme court ruled that only the country's congress could call such an election, Zelaya ordered the army to help him stage it anyway. (It would be ''non-binding,'' he said.) When the head of the armed forces, acting on orders from the supreme court, refused, Zelaya fired him, then led a mob to break into a military base where the ballots were stored.
Why would anyone want to re-seat a chief executive hell bent on becoming a dictator. Honduras is resisting all the pressure being put on it. The question one has to ask is why?, given the information that is coming out, do all these other folks think they have the right to decide to reverse the Honduras Supreme Court and the people of Honduras. If you wonder if the spirit of tyranny is alive and well in the world? — then just look at this and wonder. SEE THE IBD STORY
