Yesterday marked the first military coup in Central America since the end of the Cold War. The president of Honduras had been attempting to lift presidential term limits and expand the powers of the president. The Honduran Army stormed the presidential palace, arrested the president and placed the pajama clad Zalaya on a plane to Costa Rica.
