Reply #12: Now this is dangerous. The only reason for Zelaya to accept [View All]

(moved this reply from the IKN post to here where I meant it to go in the first place)

this proposal is if his aides at the Costa Rica meeting could absolutely verify that the Pinochettis would refuse any proposal that involves Zelaya returning as prez. In reality, when the Pinochettis said they would not accept the proposal, Zelaya's folks should have walked out and begun an immediate p. r. campaign focused on the message: "we've been patient, we compromised and accepted the 7 point proposal and the de facto regime refused to accept it. Honduras has to get back on its feet and Pres. Zelaya needs to return immediately." That way Zelaya is no longer bound to the 7 point plan, can return in a fashion whereby he does not devastate his supporters, and still gets kudos from the international community for originally agreeing to the plan.

Getting back to the negotiating table with these people now is a slippery slope.
