After Honduras coup outburst, Chavez works in wings

CARACAS (Reuters) - When the army ousted Honduras' president, his Venezuelan ally Hugo Chavez at first let loose with typical ire by blaming Washington and threatening military action.

But then he went uncharacteristically quiet.

  1. "U.S. President Barack Obama has backed Zelaya and condemned the coup, making a point on Tuesday of saying that the issue for Washington is about preserving democracy, regardless of whether Zelaya has been a friend of U.S. policy."

  3. I would say that there is a consideration that the way out of these US orchestrated oligarchic assaults is talk, diplomacy, reform.  This has been tried many times before, it has always led to death by diplomacy. Let see if everything has changed...

    However, what it really is when you boil it all down is a tacit admission (implied if not spoken) that it is just a matter of a little talk, that the problems arr not that deep, and that all of these violent and bloody bastards and oppressive oligarchs have somehow become reasonable people. Is what the did to the president of Honduras reasonable? No, but lets try to be reasonable...
