Perhaps Mr. Sevener should take some time to watch a few of
those Sunday morning news shows on TV.  One of the most interesting
last Sunday was one in which Senator Moiynahan, and several other
former cabinet officials from the Carter era kept expounding that
the US should come down on Nicarauga like a ton of bricks.  They
kept saying it was our duty to bring them to their knees.  Strange
talk from liberal democrats.  Are you a liberal democrat Sevener?
Can you say Liberal, Sevener?  If it were up to these jokers, we
would have been in Managua with the troops weeks ago.  They kept
beamoaning the fact that the Sandanistas are arming with all types
of weapons.  As far as I am concerned, they can have all the defensive
weapons they want.  But, when they start arming with what is a
known offensive weapon (MIGs), then I tend to get a little uneasy.
Don't you get uneasy Sevener?  If you will recall, Sevener, the
high grand Poobah of all Sandinistas went to Moscow last summer
for the express purpose of buying MIGs.  I pointed out then that 
if they were worried about invasion, they wouldn't be buying MIGs,
they would be buying defensive aircraft like some of the French or
Isralie planes.  You never answered that one Sevener, why?  I ask
now, Sevener, Why is Nicuragua buying Offensive type weapons?
Are they thinking about defending their own country?  Or, do they
have something else in mind?  What would be your reaction if the
Sandinistas decided to use their new found military might against
say Honduras, or perhaps to help out the rebels in El Salvador?
Would this be OK to you, Sevener?  From the tone of your articles,
it would seem so.
