All coups are by definition “illegal”.

True, but we have to consider this -- what Zelaya was attempting to do is a "coup" against their constitution ( he is emulating Hugo Chavez ). Their law requires only two terms. Zelaya in violation of their law wanted to grab power for a third term. This is lawlessness we cannot condone.

Removing someone from an office they are holding illegally or unconstitutionally is not a coup . . . by definition.
