I do not understand how Nicargua is "under the domination" of the Soviets, or
whatever other phrase you used to describe ("lost to us" perhaps?).

Could you please illustrate this is some manner, e.g. by listing references in
magizines or newspapers which demonstrate that the higher echelons of the
Sandinistia government is under the pay of the Soviets. The fact that they
accept aid and weapons from the Soviets does not constitute "being under Soviet
dominiation."

I can never understand where people get their mis-informaiton on Nicargua. I do
not understand what the country has done to deserve the mistrust that people in
this country seem to hold for it.
 While at one time, it may have served as a conduit for weapons to El Salvador,
most people (even the U.S. government) agree that Nicaragua has not shipped
arms to El Salvador since the beginning of this year (11 months).
 The only thing that I can see if that they are a socialist country which has
choosen to not follow the dictates of the U.S. Perhaps this is reason enough
to be hated and feared. I should hope that it is not.

Keep those letters and cards coming...
