Piss On That, Part II

Honduras would like Brazil to figure out something to do with former President Manuel Zelaya, currently chillin' in the Brazilian Embassy in Tegucigalpa. Brazil has pretty much told them to bend over, so they can show Honduras where to stick their request/ultimatum.

Money quote of this latest act in the Honduran drama comes from Brazilian President Lula DaSilva:

Speaking at a South America-Africa summit in Venezuela, President Lula demanded an apology from interim leader Roberto Micheletti for the demand.

"Brazil will not comply with an ultimatum from a government of coup mongers," he said.

And of course, Zelaya can't shut his mouth- he's gotta say something wacky- namely this:

Mr Zelaya has accused the interim government of violating the rights of those inside the embassy by pumping toxic gas into the building.

Again, people are getting this totally wrong. The military enacted a court order and went back to its barracks, turning power over to an interim government. NOT A COUP. Maybe an action of questionable legality- perhaps, but- let me spell this out for people AGAIN. NOT. A. COUP.

If Zelaya and all his leftist friends were smart, they would lawyer up and take the interim government to court.

But they ain't. So, I expect the drama will continue.
