A UN resolution has called for the reinstatement of Honduran President Manual Zelaya. The Honduran President was taken from power after the first South American military coup in 16 years.

The UN General Assembly has approved a resolution calling for the reinstatement of ousted Honduran President Manuel Zelaya.

The resolution calls strongly for no recognition of any other government formed in Honduras, except Honduran President Manuel Zelaya. The Honduran President was said to travel to Honduras with the head of the Organization of American States, Jose Miquel Insulza, later this week, but may face arrest on arrival by military opposition.

"We believe that the coup was not legal and that President Zelaya remains the democratically elected president there," Obama said in Washington.

Arrested, impeached, tried, convicted of attempting to usurp the constitution and ignoring rulings by the Supreme Court of the Honduras, this will be a fitting end.

Gee, I wonder why Obama wanted to "meddle" in this case.
