Taft breaks off diplomatic relations with Zelaya’s government and opens “unofficial” relations with the Estradaites (General Estrada, by the way, is governor of Zelaya province) while telling the charge d’affaires of the Zelaya government, who he just broke off official relations with, that he can, if he likes, continue to represent his government unofficially.

After everything, the Honduran coup was an unmitigated success for Roberto Micheletti, the army, the business owners, and the other elites who supported it. Last weekend's election saw the left hobbled, the conservative candidate victorious, and the United States basically agreeing to recognize the results. Spain and most of the world refuses to recognize the elections. But with the United States signaling...

The Presidential election in Honduras was Sunday. Turnout is reported as fairly high (61%) and Pepe Lobo appears to be the clear winner. Many in the Latin American blogosphere are urging that the US not recognize the elections or normalize their relations with Honduras ( here is an example ). I just don't understand that. This was a regularly scheduled election. To the best of my knowledge, neither...
