Is the Honduran political crisis the tip of an iceberg?

Rather than split Obama is shrewd enough to play both ends against the middle.Zelaya is still holed up in an emby in Honduras. Why didn't the US send soldiers in to reinstate him. However they have sent soldiers and mercenaries to overthrow independent governments like Cuba , Nicaragua and Venezuela.The US is also co opting liberal Governments like Chile and Brazil. Lula is making deals with Uribe. On Cuba Obama liberalized somewhat the ability of relatives to visit their families, but hasn't removed the embargo nor reestablished diplomatic relations.So Obama in order to cozy up to his neo con friends, in the name of national unity,, is taking one step forward and two steps back.So we may even return to the days of the Monroe Doctrine, The US government is not split,bu it's very slick at creating that impression
