From ka@spanky:
I recall that [The Nicaraguans]
denied shipping arms to the rebels in El Salvedor; and I don't
think that there is any real doubt that they have done exactly that.

What makes you say that?  Did you know that for all the money the CIA
is spending on the Contras for the purpose of interdicting arms
shipments to El Salvador they have yet to stop one single arms shipment?
Its amazing how effective the "Big Lie" really is.

The Nicaraguans want to be friends with us because that is their only
viable option.  The Soviets are not willing to spend $8 million a day
on them like they do on Castro, and it's not at all clear they the
Sandanistas want to become another Soviet Puppet anyway.  The U.S. so
totally dominates the economy of this hemisphere that they must deal
with us whether they like it or not.
