Do you think they enjoy the Communist terrorist groups, in El
Salvador, and the government of Nicaragua? The reason we have
to support other, arguably as bad, groups is that they are the
only ones with a chance of effectivly opposing the Communist
groups. And if you think that Communist governments can be
benevolent, look at the Khmer Rouge in Cambodea. Over a period
of a few years in power they killed almost half of the
population of the country. Don't you think that it's worthwhile
trying to keep people like this out of power?
