Military ouster of Honduras leader condemned

 During the summer, the President of Honduras, Manuel Zelaya was forced out of office by the Honduran Army. As a replacment, congressmen Roberto Micheletti as placed into office. With a very strong history with both Honduras and Central America, I knew that this news would be big for the US. Zelaya felt as if he was cheated out of office and this wasn't fair action. He said "I want to return to my country," Zelaya said. "I am president of Honduras." The army stormed into his home in Honduras in the middle of the night and forced him to flee to nearby Costa Rica.

After reading this article, I immediately knew how both the US and the author of the article felt about Zelaya being removed from office. Also, the article conveys that the US is going to do anything to bring Zelaya back to his rightful place in office as President by saying they were "deeply concerned" and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said "Zelaya's arrest should be condemned." The US has pledged to do everything in their power to return Zelaya to office and many other Central American countries have done the same. The author makes sure that the reader knows that what was done in Costa Rica was wrong. 

One thing that the author did not do a good job on and as a reader I am very confused about is the motive for the army. The author does not say anything about why Zelaya was removed. I would of liked more information about if Zelaya had done something to deserve this rather then the article just talking about how wrong the soldiers were to do this. It should be interesting to see how both the US re-acts and what Micheletti will do to try and keep his chaotic country under control.
