...this much for Roberto Micheletti: The Honduran coup leader, who refuses to let deposed President Manuel Zelaya back into the country, has at least turned Washington and Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez into diplomatic bedfellows. But can the Honduran crisis, as many are beginning to suggest, make acrimonious relations between the U.S. and Venezuela chummy again...

...that reaches back to an old one: Costa Rican President Oscar Arias - who during his first presidency won the 1987 Nobel Peace Prize for helping end Central America's rash of bloody civil wars - will now mediate the Honduran standoff. Clinton, who said both Zelaya and provisional Honduran leader Roberto Micheletti had agreed to Arias' involvement, called on "all parties to refrain from acts of violence" - on Sunday a teenaged Zelaya backer was shot dead by soldiers - "and to seek a peaceful, constitutional and lasting solution." Zelaya and Micheletti say they'll meet together with Arias on Thursday...

...they were indeed just defending a constitution fashioned exclusively for the haves of Honduras. In a move reminiscent of the 2002 Venezuela coup, congressional leaders claimed that Zelaya had signed a resignation letter before being flown out of the country, and they voted on Sunday to install Congress President Roberto Micheletti as President. Speaking from Costa Rica, however, Zelaya strongly denied that he had signed any such thing and insisted he was still head of state...
