"President Reagan commonly described Nicaragua as a 'totalitarian dungeon'."

And correctly and accurately. And thanks to President Reagan's pressure on Nicaragua -- in the face of the opposition of the so-called Democrats in Congress -- the Ortega dictatorship in Nicaragua had to hold free elections under international scrutiny, and lost. Ortega and his henchmen retired to the mansions built for the Somoza regime and its supporters.

Reagan's approach to and results in Nicaragua does indeed illustrate the value of dissent. :')

Gee, with stunning writing like this, I can see why he won a Nobel Prize. </SARC>

The horror the United States inflicted upon Chile in 1973 can never be purged and can never be forgiven.

Giving it the highest per capita income in South America?

Unforgivable!
