Honduras seems to be a little below the radar but there is growing concerns. To recap the situation:
The President is elected for one term and can not be re-elected. Zelaya's term ends in January. However, Zelaya took steps to change the Constitution so that he could get re-elected. The Legislative Branch and the Judical Branch both told Zelaya to stop what he was planning. Zelaya proceded, against these complaints. There is no impeachment mechanism in the Constitution. The military stepped in and overthrew Zelaya.

I don't understand why we are getting involved but our involvement is helping fuel the flames and increase the liklihood of a civil war.
