  1. It is almost impossible to beat a guerilla or it take decades, at best. What is our strategic interest there? Either we have a strategic interest and we have to take all the means for that or we have to leave.

  2. I forgot to add mining harbors, which is a kind of bombing. Nicaragua is still waiting for their restitution. Just another USA war crime.

  3. CIA goes where people do not want communists. The CIA funded Tibetan resistance. Hollywood and some punks above just whine about their support for the Tibetans. Don't do much, just whine.

    CIA funded Ukrainian resistance to the USSR after WW2.

    CIA funded Afghanistan's resistance to the USSR in the 1980s.

    Russian and Cuba funded the Sandinistas and The US funded the resistance (# Resist) to the Sandinistas. The Nicaraguan people threw of the Sandinista yoke for a short time, but now it is back on. Congress is fickle about helping people, but Castro and those assholes fund tyrants through thick and thin.

    Castro funded the Communists in Angola. The communist leader's (for life) daughter became the richest woman in Africa, if not the rich person in Africa. SHAZZAM! How did that happen?

    And the Sandinistas? they all have their Haciendas. Meet the New Boss, Same as the OLD Boss!
