It’s official. Mel Zelaya, the deposed president of Honduras who wanted to violate his country’s constitution in order to extend presidential terms limits, has defied the interim government and, surrounded by supporters, returned to Honduras. Previously, Zelaya supporters blocks roads and troops fired shots, two people may have been wounded. Two hours later, Zelaya retreated back to Nicaragua fearing imminent arrest. Ridiculous.

They should have just arrested Zelaya and kept him hidden in some undisclosed location… all this will do is instigate further violence in Honduras between the pro-Zelaya camp and the legitimate interim government. Zelaya, like Chavez, is just a clown looking for news coverage. I applaud the Honduran government for showing restraint in a situation that could have easily led to even more bloodshed, I only urge that they put an end to this show as soon as possible.
