Zelaya defied the Honduran courts and the legislature and imported ballot boxes from Venezuela for his unsanctioned and illegal "referendum", which Hondurans perceived as a power play to usurp mandated term limits. Zelaya took his chances -- most likely at the direction of his puppetmaster Hugo -- and lost.

Lots of butthurt Chavistas were baying incessantly for direct US intervention when those events happened, despite also demanding the US not interfere in Latin America. Go figure.
