An eruption of peace, or something, in Honduras.

The issue will be how far 'President' Zelaya, if he is briefly restored to office, can manage to manoeuvre anything other than a polite handover to his successor after the forthcoming elections.

If these elections do pass off peacefully, Mr Micheletti can be congratulated on having headed off a very messy situation when Zelaya tried to thwart proper process.

This looks like an outcome where all concerned give something and get something, not as usual a result as it ought to be (see eg Kosovo).

Just a pity that a fraction of the US-led effort put into squeezing Honduras was not used to squeeze the Iranian regime during their farcical elections?
