Before we condemn the interim government’s rejection of Arias’s proposal, let’s consider that Zelaya, only yesterday, in an interview with Brazilian Newpaper, Folha, insisted that he would plow through with his intent of changing the constitution of Honduras. He was saying this simultaneously with the commission in Costa Rica which had accepted Arias’s seven-point proposal that expressly forbade anything of the sort. His own representatives lamented his comments.

WHERE IS THE SCANDALOUS COVERAGE OF THIS IN THE MEDIA?

Nowhere.

Now Zelaya is saying he will return to Honduras the same weekend I’m planning to go there. I hope the situation will not mar my parents’ anniversary celebration.

In a fit of megalomania, Zelaya had made a statue of himself, apparently to place beside those of the fathers of the nation in the courtyard of the Presedential Palace. I guess Chavez got to him a little too much.
