Honduras Elections

Based on a New York Times op ed, I got some ideas to give perspective on Honduras.

The upcoming elections have been denounced by many nations and said that it will not change their stance on Honduras (which is to return Zelaya to power, which would have him in office longer than he is allowed by the Constitution of Honduras).

If the leaders of Burma said they were going to hold free and fair elections, would we say no simply because they are currently run by a dictatorship?

Let the elections be the voice of the people and respect that voice as you would any other when allowed freely.

Update: I had lost the article in my travels, but I found it again. It was from the Wall Street Journal: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB20001424052748704471504574439090743723958.html
