How Should the US Respond to the Honduran Coup?

Hosted by

On Sunday, Manuel Zelaya was snatched from his home by soldiers and taken to Costa Rica. A political rival has been sworn in, but the Honduran President insists he's still in charge. The courts, Congress and even leaders of his own party support the coup, but a coalition of Latin American countries has called for an "insurrection" to return him to office. President Obama is in rare agreement with Venezuela's Hugo Chavez. UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon insists he be reinstated, and the Secretary General of the Organization of American States says he'll accompany Zelaya to Honduras on Thursday. Tim Padgett is Latin America Bureau Chief for Time magazine.
