I disagree.  Nicaragua is different.
	1) Nicaragua has had pluralistic democratic elections (certified by
independent international organizations).
	2) Nicaragua is neither communist nor totalitarian.  There is a large
amount of private ownership (well over 50% of the country).
	3) I for one have travelled to Nicaragua fairly indepedendently and
personally know others who have either lived in Nicaragua for weeks or months
and/or have travelled their without tours.
