Brazil, US Face Off Over Honduras
Honduras' disputed presidential election is likely to set Washington against emerging Latin American power Brazil over whether to recognize the winner of a vote promoted by the leaders of a June coup. Brazil, which is increasingly flexing its muscles as its economy becomes more powerful, refuses to recognize the vote. "Brazil will maintain its position because it's not possible to accept a coup," President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva said on Sunday.

The election is only disputed by leftist countries who are upset with the results. And Lula's moralizing about "coups" is funny considering some of his best buds were originally brought to power by military coups.
Talk back to the missionary: Since Lula's government bet so heavily on the "losing horse", do you think there is a graceful exit strategy?
