You say you want the story straight from the horse's mouth,
from someone who has been to Nicargua?  A friend of mine has
spent the last two years in Honduras as a Peace Corps volunteer.
During this time he has visited Nicargua.  Did he find a charming
land of freedom and happiness?  NO!  He reported an armed camp,
with few freedoms and rampant paranoia.  

Does he expect the Sandies to stay around?  No.  Although they
did do a lot for the poor in the beginning, they have ignored
them of late.  Worse, they have totally alienated the middle
class, on which the success of any country is based.  

Finally, you say that the US has rejected the Contadora process.
Obviously you haven't kept up with recent developments.  For it
is now the Sandanistas who reject that process, and the US which
supports it.  

So, why don't you get YOUR facts right, and quit belly-aching about
how bad the US is.  Open your eyes to the abuses of the Sandanistas.
Or do you agree with what they are doing?
