One of the other little discussed matters relating to American
intervention in Central America is the militarization of the
region by us as the "friend of Central American countries". Take
a look at the % of the wealth of, say, Honduras and Costa Rica
over the last ten years devoted to military strength (I thing that
one of those countries didn't even *have* a military to speak
of before '74 or so) and compare that to AMerican Involvement.
