...heroine of The Princess and the Frog puts her big dreams to music, singing, "I'm almost there." That's the position of Disney's 2-D animated feature, which opened wide Friday.

Zelaya also hints that he came to Tegucigalpa in part because he and his leftist allies in the region, including Chavez, felt the U.S. has been too tepid in trying to leverage Micheletti. (The Obama Administration has cut off some $30 million in aid to Honduras as well as visas, and has threatened not to recognize the presidential election results if Zelaya is not returned to office by then.)
