I've been reading various stuff about Honduras. About the only thing that stands out which seems to give some indication of what's going on is this: Zelaya's support (which is considerable) seems to come from the poor people. His opposition (which is also considerable) seems to come from the more wealthy people. I would deduce from this that Zelaya is a progressive who is bringing in social legislation which benefits the poor people. If so, I would favor him over the people who have ousted him, given a choice between the two. I prefer those who assist the poor to those who are cronies of the elite in an impoverished society.

I doubt that he's perfect. ;-) Politicians very seldom are. I doubt that the people who kicked him out are perfect either. If the poor of Honduras prefer Zelaya, then he has my endorsement.
