The author of this Washington Post article has a very balanced opinion, we need more of these. It also makes me wonder what John McCain would have done. I suppose if he were president, the crisis would be over, Micheletti would be confirmed as president, and Chávez would be erupting with insults.
Don’t get me wrong, I sympathize with the republicans, but I like to stay in the center.

C.S. Lewis once observed that the best argument for democracy was not that mankind was so wise and good that all of us deserved a share in government: “The danger of defending democracy on those grounds is that they’re not true . . . The real reason for democracy is mankind is so fallen that no man can be trusted with unchecked power over his fellows.”
Hi Kman, Mexico is very quiet on this, although my brother in law invited a photographer from el Norte to is house to take a picture of a group of Honduran friends who had met there for the ocasion. Unfortately, I can't publish the picture, and it's behind a paywall at the El Norte website.
Great quote riomonga, my feelings exactly.
