Chavez's and Insulza's plan for Honduras is wrong

To resolve the Honduran political crisis of June-July 2009, Hugo Chavez and Jose Miguel Insulza have proposed that Manuel Zelaya should return to Honduras by force, to make street protests, regain the military's loyalty and take power anyway, without measuring consequences.

Unfortunately, these political geniuses will not have realized that insisting on this "solution" would lead to a completely unintended outcome for almost all: There would be two factions warring for control, violent clashes, dozens of deaths, and at the end would get the power who received more acclaim from both civilian and military sectors, wild style.

Certainly in Honduras there were many irregularities in the deposition of Zelaya, that few people doubt it, but when someone is in the position of Insulza, no one can be so irresponsible as to think that a coup, or a political crisis, will be solved by promoting confrontation between conflicting parties.

The solution for Honduras should be institutional, formal and peaceful, although the current government has constitutional defects. At least that is what a responsible leader should try.
