They Just Don't Get It

When Secretary of State Hillary Clinton met with ousted Honduran president Manuel Zelaya, she gave her support in the fact that she is supporting Costa Rican President Oscar Arias to mediate an end to the crisis. But what end is this administration after? A restoration of Zelaya to be president? In her statement that can be seen in its entirety below, she seems to support the restoration of Zelaya and to respect democracy. What she, and President Obama do not realize though, is that Zelaya sought to subvert the democratic system in his country, not uphold it. The military and Supreme Court acted in the best interest of Honduras, but it seems the people in positions of power aren't realizing the obvious.
