The above posting is ignorant, arrogant and disgusting. Note that:
(1) There has not been any `slaughter' of Mesquito Indians in Nicaragua, 
let alone 10,000 deaths. This is simply an invention by the poster.
Minimal research in an almanac of world events, or in the reports of human
rights organisations re Nicaragua, will confirm this. (Many Mesquito *were*
forcibly resettled.)
(2) If Nicaraguans don't want a free enterprise system, that's their decision.
It is no crime to be anti-capitalist.
(3) The only possible threat that Nicaragua could pose to free enterprise in
the U.S. is as an example which the U.S. people decide to follow. 
(4) The posting displays an irrational fear of "Reds"; indeed, the entire
posting is made up of lies (slaughter allegation, "turning their territory
into a Gulag outpost"-whatever that is supposed to mean), abuse 
(posters of such
trash), and the invocation of alleged demons (Reds, communists).
