Start talks and prolong them as long as you can, 7 months if necessary.

Make sure those talks keep Zelaya out of the country for 7 months.

Let the US congress debate for 3 or more months a resolution about a coup to gain time for the honduran elections.

Mean while condemn the military coup but don't do nothing about it.

After 7 months celebrate "elections" as it was schedule.

Make a big deal out of those election tell the world that democracy is coming back to honduras.

Select a right wing libertarian as president of honduras, someone who would sign a 100 years lease for a military base there.

Then you have it, everything going back to normal, no more leftist in power and a legitimate government out of a military coup.
