Don't be patronising. I don't need a dictionary to know what a military coup is. You are taking your custonmary selective view of the facts.

Zelaya was declared by the Supreme Court and Congress to be acting against the Constitution. He refused to desist. He was replaced by the Speaker as per the Constitution. Those are the facts. If you want to call that a military coup, please yourself, but don't expect a dictionary to back you up.

Imagine what this forum would be like if George Bush had decided to mess about with the Constitution to extend his term, like Zelaya proposed to do, and Chavez has already done.
He didnt need to, because the US constitution already allows a president 3 terms, which is what Zelya was proposing a referendum on. I suspect that your obvious political leanings make you unable to form a rational analysis of whats going on there.
