Fidel Castro and his acolyte, President Hugo Chávez of Venezuela, are desperately trying to undermine the democratically elected and mostly pro-American governments of Central America. They would like to see the Marxist Sandinistas regain power in Nicaragua, for instance, and Chávez is pumping money from his country's oil wealth into that project...

This is very interesting. I had no idea that Uncle Fidel is still trying to export the Revolucion. Of course the media never reports this. What are we doing to undermine Chavez, I wonder? I hope we're doing something.

Chavez is ruling his country by way of the machine gun.

He is creating serious problems that need to be addressed.

The demonrats like Castro in power and dont' mind Chavez stirring revolution in central America.

Don't forget most of the demonrats wanted the Sandinista's to win.

I just finished reading an article in the National Review on Daniel Ortega and Nicaragua. He is making a run at taking over the government through the judicial and legislative branches. See when he lost the election that tossed him out, he seriously considered a military takeover. The opposition cut a deal with him so he would honor the election. He was given a massively disproportionate amount of seats in their legislature(he owns them) and was given complete control over their judiciary(he owns them too). Now he works from behind the curtails getting the judiciary and the legislature to strip the democratic executive branch of all its power, the one branch that is pushing for democratic reforms.

I probably read/hear the same media you do and I've been made very well aware of it. The media report such stuff, daily and in-depth. They just don't head it "Castro Exports Revolution." But it's apparent to anyone who follows what's going on in Venezuela, Mexico, Brazil, Bolivia, Peru, Colombia, etc., and all of Central America that the grand strategy is to foment Marxist revolutions as with the Sandinistas.

Venezuela, which supplies a lot of U.S. oil, is a hotbed of Castro-exported Marxist activity, with the Chinese doing their utmost to get the oil they supply to us and helping to supply arms. Brazil is in very precarious political balance: it's turned strongly anti-U.S. in the last few years. Peru and Bolivia have been targeted by Castro's revolution for years. The only reasonable explanation for Bush's hands-off policy on Mexican illegal immigration is to bleed off some of the social unrest and potential for revolution that is nearing the explosion point. Having a hostile Communist country on our southern border would be a major problem.
