An ironic end to a technically correct analysis of the differences between
Chile and Nicaragua. Nicaraguan history sure *is* fulla dictators-most with
the last name of DeBayle (lesse-there's Anastazio, and his father, and his
grandfather....). Lotsa foreign intervention too. Ours.

Granted that Chile and Nicaragua ain't the same zone, same home, same reasons.
But do you think that the Reaganistas make that sort of foreign policy 
distinction? Especially if Chile is mentioned as an example of past Red
meddling (reddling?) in "our sphere of influence". Hands off Afghanistan,
but gimme Nicaragua back.
