The offer of mediation in Honduras’ political difficulties by Costa Rican President Oscar Arias, 1987 Nobel Peace Prize winner, is certainly both noble and sincere, but not highly likely of success, I don’t think. Ousted (ex-)president Manuel Zelaya demands he be restored to office as a precondition of talks, while interim President Roberto Micheletti says no way, no how.
But, both plan to show up in Costa Rica Thursday. No “winners” so far in Honduras, and may not be any for some time.
But there is one cleaer winner overall, Hugo Chavez. He gets to burnish his diplomatic and foreign policy credentials, stand close to Obama, and more, as the story notes.
