This editorial is an interesting look at Chavismo’s influence in the US.

Toppled Madagascar leader rejects new government
Yet the UN has not got involved, the US has only suspended some minor aid and the IMF have just increased Madagascar's reserve holdings by more than $100 million without any pre-conditions.
Why?
If the media are reporting it correctly, I'd say it's very different. The reports make it sound as if were a whim of the armed forces to replace an elected leader.
In Honduras we have a Chavez-style antidemocracy in the making, and a president ignoring the supreme court and congress's authority, and a Constitutional protection against tampering with its "petreous" articles.
Who knows what really happened over there.
But if Chavez rises to the defense of Madagascar, we might see the US follow suit?
