New Honduras govt open to dialogue with OAS

Or, at least its civilian head, Roberto Micheletti, is. Micheletti said his government had asked to start a dialogue with the Organization of American States, which unanimously suspended Honduras from membership (that country abstaining) last week.

Meanwhile, ousted President Manuel Zelaya either still can’t get his PR “optics” straight or just doesn’t care.

Trying to fly back into Honduras on a plane registered to the Venezuelan government is not dialogue-conducive.

Could we see fracturing in Honduras? Cardinal Oscar Rodriguez repeated his request to Zelaya not to return. Will the church’s word have any sway with the poor? Rodriguez is not the most liberal churchman in terms of social theology.

At the same time, did Micheletti consult with any military leaders before issuing his call for dialogue?
