...other nations as obsessed with their own pop-culture refuse as we are? I don't know. I think it may be an American curse in some ways. I'm just going to talk through my hat because I have no actual information for you, but maybe it's our relative lack of deep history that might curse us to this quest. We're a slightly amnesiac country. We were invented out of whole cloth fairly recently, and we're very dedicated to not looking at the past and very pointed to the future.

Mark Weisbrot, co-director of the Center for Economic and Policy Research, a liberal Washington think tank, says backing away from restoring Zelaya "sends an ugly signal that the U.S. doesn't really consider the era of using military coups in the region to be over." He adds it would fuel charges that Obama has been cowed by a small group of conservative Republican Cold Warriors in Congress. Led by South Carolina Senator Jim DeMint, they recently journeyed to Honduras to show their support for Micheletti and are holding up diplomatic appointments to protest Obama's opposition to the coup...
