BTW, the point your are wrestling with is the same as the Iran Contra debacle. There really were bad people in Nicaragua. Reagan had to deal with the situation and he had a leftist Congress that had prohibited his expenditure on such an operation. Yet despite the ephemeral success of expelling Daniel Ortega, there were unintended consequences that do persist.

This is where the power freaks of the world take action "on behalf of the public interest" supposedly out of a sense of noblesse oblige but the powers they accrue develop the entitlement to droit de siegneur.

We're paying for it big time and they didn't ask. Nobody learns that way.

Ortega came back didn’t he. It as my take it was a much less active incarnation. However, that may mostly be because there’s nobody up here objecting to what he’s doing.

What’s your thought on the resultant down sides to taking him out?
