==============================
Obviously I am not in favor of overthrowing any government, but that
does not mean that we should simply give Central America to the Communists.
That would severely threaten the security interests of our country, as well
as Europe and the Middle East for reasons I've already given.  
==============================

If you are not in favour of "giving Central America to the Communists",
how can you support military intervention in favour of the dictators
instead of the peasants. If the peasants supported the USA, the Communists
wouldn't have a hope in hell of taking over Central America. With the
present policies, they are being handed the region on a silver platter.
Eisenhower/Kennedy gave Cuba to the Russians at the Bay of Pigs to
start off the whole sorry affair, and successive Presidents supported
by the CIA have continued it until there seems little hope left.
I sometimes wonder if Reagan is being paid by the Kremlin, or whether
he does it out of the goodness of his kind heart.
