#3 "...Ramon Custodio said election officials should consider holding a referendum on whether to allow Mr. Zelaya to return to power or not. Custodio said the vote would offer a response to the international community, and show that only the Honduran people can decide the country's future."

#5 Sen. Feinstein said Sunday that she thought it was crucial for the United States not to be perceived as interfering with Iran's internal politics.

US President Barack Obama's Spokesman Robert Gibbs said on Wednesday that the president discussed universal principles such as the right to peacefully demonstrate and stressed that they should be observed in Iran.
"The President will continue to express those concerns and ensure that we are not meddling," he [Gibbs] said.

"It is not productive, given the history of US and Iranian relations to be seen as meddling in Iranian elections," [Obama] said.
