'Zelaya's Sunday deadline for the coup leaders to back down falls on the 30th anniversary of Nicaragua's July 19, 1979, Sandinista revolution that toppled dictator Anastasio Somoza.

Never mind that the U.S. (Jimmy Carter) slapped an embargo on Somoza's gov., then strong-armed the Israelis into turning around a shipment of arms they'd sent to help him against the Communist Sandinistas--after the Israeli ships had already entered the Caribbean!
Unreal.
