Zelayla was democratic elected. The coup taking him out has destabilized that country every since.

"In 2009, a constitutional crisis culminated in a transfer of power from the president to the head of Congress.[29][30][31]

Countries around the world, the OAS, and the UN formally and unanimously condemned the action as a coup d'état and refused to recognize the de facto government, though a document submitted to the United States Congress declared the coup to be legal according to the opinion of the lawyers consulted by the Library of Congress.[29][32][33] The Honduran Supreme Court ruled the proceedings to be legal. The government that followed the de facto government, established a "truth and reconciliation commission", Comisión de la Verdad y Reconciliación, which after more than a year of research and debate concluded the ousting to be a coup d'état "to the executive power", illegal in its opinion.[34][35][36]"

But, hey if you're into mass bloodshed caused after a coup of a left leaning democratically elected president and you love the new ultra conservative corrupt pro drug cartel junta running the place, then that's your business. It has the highest murder rate in the world now. That is what Hillary admits to helping come into power as she fought the president retaking power when he came back after the coup.
