Honduras Coup

So today the Honduran army decided it would be a good idea to take out the democratically elected president Manuel Zelaya. From what I understand, he wanted to make changes to the constitution. Though this is always a heated debate, I can't understand how it would lead to a coup without ivolvement from some other nation. Zelaya was set to have a non-binding election on the changes as a way of getting public opinion on the matter, I don't see anything wrong with that, but he was over thrown anyways. This to me smells like involvement from some big country in the region who took the oppertunity to get rid of a socialist president. Might have been the US might not have, all I know is that this is wrong and I stand 100% with the protesters in Honduras. Notice how there has been little coverage of this in American media so far, if this was a protest they support, like say Iran, the front page of every American newspaper. It's selective coverage, made to promote an agenda.
