Summary: 

Right on Andy and Baba. The sad part of this whole argument insofar as
anyone with an interest in rural development is concerned is that
those naughty Sandinistas are the *ONLY* nation in all of Central America
that have a viable, working program of agrarian land reform that breaks
the traditional cycle of [0-4]% of the country owning [90-99]% of the
productive land. Their advances in rural health care are also a model
(uh oh, Socialized medicine....) of a decent working system.

Try asking those leftists in Christian organizations like, say, "Bread
for the World" how Nicaragua stacks up to some of our real allies like
Guatemala (the country will be much more stable once the government 
finishes exterminating the Indian populations....) or Chile stack up.
Being a Christian organization, they're bound to be crusading for the
Right, right? Go on, ask.

Make my day (sorry, couldn't resist).
