I'm glad that the U.S. is "normalizing" its bilateral relationship and reinstating the curtailed aid programs.

From get-go I figured the "hiccup" in democratic process starting with Zelaya's removal could have been much worse.

I mean simply that the "de facto regime" could have dropped him off on the tarmac in his birthday suit, sans pajamas.

Thus the "de facto regime" did indeed leave him with at least a shread of dignity.

I don't think any elected official will be trying to alter their constitution anytime soon, now that precedent has been made.

All in all, Honduran democracy has been strenthened in the process, not weakened.

Uh, Mister Ambassador - are those Hondurans you're congratulating maybe the SAME Hondurans who supported your so-called 'coup d'etat'? Hmm? Remember: Mel Zelaya's political base opted to boycott that election. That's to say they didn't vote at all. People who supported President Micheletti did. So who, exactly, are you congratulating again? And do those particular people who voted agree with you about Honduras suffering a 'coup d'etat'? Maybe you ought to get out and ask one of them.
