4. Zelaya made the same "mistakes" Aristide did.

He was popular, he was working on putting the "participatory" in the Honduran democracy, he raised the minimum wage and got some funding for schools. And his ousting was carried out very much like Aristides' except the PTB didn't take the time to develop paramilitaries in Honduras. They imported them from Colombia instead. They slimed Zelaya just as they slimed Aristide, too, in the press.

DUer magbana tried to explain the similarities to me when Honduras was happening but I didn't get it until I watched this documentary.
