Honduras background

The situation in Honduras is increasingly confusing, and most of us have better things to do then spend time learning about it, like mowing the lawn, or sanding bricks, or shoveling gravel, or basically anything. So, just for your convenience, I have written down a timeline of how the whole mess started, so that you don't have to sort through all those annoying "facts" in news broadcasts.


1) Everything starts when one morning Manuel Zelaya woke up and suddenly realized that, not only was he not a rich and successful millionaire playboy who took his battle against crime to the streets in honor of his murdered parents, but that he was actually President of the Honduras, which, in the international scheme of things is sort of like being kneecapped by athletes at the Special Olympics.
