Now I'm almost certain that it was not a coup
In I don't think this qualifies as a coup, I mentioned an Op-Ed in the WSJ that provided evidence that the firing of the president of Honduras was not a coup. Now that I have read another Op-Ed in the WSJ by the current president of Honduras, The Path Forward for Honduras, I am nearly certain that it was not a coup. If the definition of a coup is broad enough to include the peaceful change of leadership of a country when the leaders are criminals removed with due process, then we need a new term for a special kind of illegal and amoral coup.
