Need to understand that Micheletti, to get the support from the military, would have to have been from the extreme right wing of the "Liberal" Party.

That's like saying it would be ok if Ron Dellums were elected president, and then overthrown, exiled and replaced by Zell Miller. After all, they're BOTH Democrats.

1. The coup is indefensible
I'm willing to tolerate an argument that perhaps Zelaya should not have pushed forward with the referendum, given the previous ruling by the Honduran supreme court. But the kidnapping, throwing him out of the country, and replacement with someone else is totally unjustified.
