Zelaya was legally and fairly elected. That the US is in essence supporting the Coup leaders shows the hyocrisy of US foreign policy. The US supports a repressive regime in colombia while doing everything in its power to bring down Chavez who is actually helping the overwhelmingly poor population of Venezuela.
