You have been fooled by the scaffold of deception that surrounds the
Sandanistas and has from day 1. These people are Marxist-Leninists and
have looked towards Cuba And the USSR as their source of ideology since
the early stages of their revolution. Wake up. Don't use the excuse that
the Sandanista policies are a result of US aggression; back at the start
of their rule (post July '79) when the US was still friendly and giving
them economic aid, Borge and compatriots were traveling to Russia and
praising them for such things as the invasion and occupation of Afghanistan.
Talk to the NICARAGUAN church officials about religious persecution - what
happened to the Sunday televised mass, the Catholic radio station, the 16+
expelled priests and nuns, the Crusade for Christ ministry (an association
of nonaligned college student-missionaries), etc. Who cares if a homeboy
bishop went to Nicaragua and sat in Tomas Borge's inner sanctum and personally
witnessed the nice man looking at a Bible? I agree with Simon - an earlier
note complianing about the pro-Soviet stance of this net group - we
desperately need some rational thought in this .group.
