#2 Several Latin American nations, including Brazil, refused to recognise the elections.

Then close your embassy in Brazil [most likely cut off funding] and tell any staff members to return or accept exile. Then tell Brazil to clear their embassy mission out as well. Make life interesting.

#4 P2K has it: if Brazil were truly serious about this and not just posing, they'd break relations (which is what not recognizing the government means, after all), pack their bags and leave. They could take Mel with them.

#5 What is the definition of "Latin America", anyways? Is it "Hispanic-speaking", or "Central and South America, including the Carribean"? Because Brazil isn't Central America, nor is it Spanish-speaking. Why does Brazil's opinion on Honduras matter more than, oh, I don't know, Australia's?

#8 I dunno, Mel. The Mexicans don't really treat Honduran immigrants all that well, I understand.

Unless they have, oh, say 40 mil stashed somewhere...

#9 But Mr Zelaya told Telesur he would not leave as an asylum seeker.

How about "Fleeing for his life before a murderous Crowd?"
That OK?
