4. Just a note on this BBC article...
"Mr Zelaya wants a constitutional change allowing him to seek a second term." --BBC

That is NOT accurate. He was seeking a general advisory vote of the people on whether or not they want to rewrite their Constitution (as the people of Venezuela, Bolivia and Ecuador have done). He may want his term limit lifted. That is NOT what he proposed. And, in fact, it may be a corpo/fascist slander--a way of distorting a genuine leftist movement for change, just as the corpo/fascist press has done with regard to the important leftist democracy movement in Venezuela, making it seem to be a matter of one man's ambition. The BBC is not above touting corpo/fascist "talking points." I am now going to read the whole article to see if they correct themselves or clarify. That is a really big reporting error.
