Honduran crisis resolved?

Since no text of the agreement has been released it is hard to tell what the scope of the accord entails, but essentially it seems as if Zelaya will be allowed back in as President for less than a month so that the elections can go forward as planned. What a great resolution brokered by U.S. diplomacy. Right!

For Zelaya it is a triumph and better than staying at the Brazilian embassy until then. Hopefully, (even though this is the wrong message the U.S. is sending by brokering this), for the beleagured county which is Honduras it will be good in the long run in the sense that the circus Zelaya has caused will tone down a bit and the elections can go forward. What is important is that Zelaya not be allowed to stand for re-election as this is what initiated the whole crisis. The Honduran constitution expressedly forbids more than one term for any president. Again, the U.S. really missed the boat on this one. They should have backed Micheletti and crew from day one.

As usual, the Powerline Blog guys don't mince words when they opine on this latest development brokered by the State Department.
