Despite the US opposing a return to Honduras by ousted (ex)-President Manuel Zelaya, he has promised to do just that if mediation by Costa Rican President Oscar Arias doesn’t return to office by the end of the day today.
What a sham his participation in Arias’ mediation has been. No surprise, though. It’s clearer by the day that, ultimately, this continues to be about him more than political idealism.
Arias has already proposed a coalition government as well as amnesty on both sides as part of talks. It’s unclear what interim President Roberto Micheletti thinks about a coalition, but it’s clear what Zelaya thinks.
Again, was this handled ideally? No. Has the military behaved at times in a coup-like manner afterward? Yes.
But, did Zelaya bring this on himself? Yes.
Is he continuing to show how and why he brought this on himself? Yes.
And, that’s why I’m skeptical left-liberal.
