CARACAS, Venezuela, July 1 -- An ally was in trouble, toppled in a military coup. And the television cameras were rolling.
The crisis in Honduras that toppled president Manuel Zelaya could not have been better scripted for another Latin American leader who has taken center stage: Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez. The populist firebrand has been Zelaya's most forceful advocate and could win international accolades if the Honduran leader eventually succeeds in regaining power. Ever since Zelaya was hustled into exile on Sunday by the military, Chavez has been a flurry of activity.
