Today, evicted Honduran President Zelaya trittered across the Honduran-Nicaraguan border to test the interim Honduran government’s resolve in dealing with his treachery.  This type of move is designed to cause an overreaction by the Honduran military, with hope of causing injuries among his few rabid supporters.  Such an event would give his cause more power in the global media spotlight.   It is interesting to note that US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton did not support this recent move – could it be because the US really does want him to go away but can’t say so publicly?  You betcha!

Clinton : “President Zelaya’s effort to reach the border is reckless. It does not contribute to the broader effort to restore democracy and constitutional order in the Honduras crisis,”

The president of the UN General Assembly, Nicaraguan Miguel D’Escoto, said on the Telesur network that Zelaya’s return attempt was “correct and heroic.”   D’Escoto also said that Zelaya should have extra days in office to make up for the days he was missing during his exile.
