You couldn't be more wrong. If you think that letting Central America slip back to where it was before Ronald Reagan turned the tide against communism, dictatorships, and everything else that was wrong it the region is okay, then I don't know what to think of you.

Every country in Central America is now a democracy, and if that means some dumb politician can't badmouth us without us urging them back to communist totalitarianism, then you have a very low threshold for criticism.

Give me a break.

Central America.....isn't that where Guatemala is, that is now threatening the U.S. for the proposed fence between Mexico & the U.S. More & more countries in South America are turning to left-wing socialism & outright communism, and my point is that as long as these countries think they can blackmail us because of a dependence or even a perceived dependence on oil, they will continue to do so. When they realize they can take their oil and shove it up their __ses, then maybe they won't be so quick to play the blackmail game. I don't want to see countries in South America or Central America turn to communism.... but unfortunately there seem to be left-wing, socialist, communist candidates who are playing on anti-U.S. propoganda and getting elected. Once they're in (and validated by our own leftist stooge Jimmah Cartah), then they trample liberties & freedom in their countries while bashing the U.S. and in effect trying to blackmail us to support them or buy their oil. My point is, if they don't have anything to blackmail us for, I think their propoganda strategy will backfire as (hopefully) the people in those countries will think twice before wanting to live in a Cuba-style totalitarian dictatorship.

That is such a smarmy distortion of history that one scarcely knows where to begin.

Suffice it to say that the real Ronald Reagan (may he R.I.P.) would snort at your mewling "logic," snicker at your blatant historical distortions, and guffaw at the notion that we should cower in fear at the pronouncements of some tin horn apparatchik in Latin America.

You need to buy, borrow, or steal a clue.
