Now, seeing the death of ex- president Reagan, one has to remember that if had not been for his vision and by its energetic international policy of containment of Communism, in Nicaragua there would be at this point a communist State, the Nicaraguans would not have individual liberties, in the country would not be democracy and the great majority of the population would be put under the espionage of the CDS (block committees), the repression of the Mint (interior ministry) and the DGSE(similar to kgb), and the rigid rationing of basic products, while the communist nomenclature would have everything, like in Cuba. And for this the democrats tried to run him out of office.
Using proceeds from arms, sold in an effort to influence the release of hostages in the middle east, to fund anti communist rebels is an example of creativity, efficiency and resourcefulness rare in foreign policy today.
I wish the contra aspect of Iran Contra HAD been Reagan's idea. MacFarland, Pointdexter and North deserve medals.
Bahfangoo to that late yapping beagle Lawrence Welsh & his democrat handlers.
'I wish the contra aspect of Iran Contra HAD been Reagan's idea. MacFarland, Pointdexter and North deserve medals'
I agree 100%.
But on the other hand, you know the democrats like to uphold rules and laws, so they could not let them get away with it. (sarcasm).
