I support the Nicaragua government although I don't support abusing 
usenet conventions.  I am *very* against American policy and intervention
in the region and dislike the holier than thou attitude of American
support versus Russian.  I am Canadian though and have somewhat of
a less biased opinion.  I'm curious about how many non-Americans
support American policy in Nicaragua.  Most of the news and editorials
I see in Canada about the conflict seems to highlight American 
exagerations and/or lies about events and tends to favor a non-military
solution and letting the region sort out its own problems.
