[A Jovial Cad]

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.

If anyone knows how to distort, it's you. 25 years ago, Central America was a collection of tinpot dictatorships, Sandinista governments, and ongoing civil wars.

Look it up since you obviously have no recollection.

I never suggested for a moment that we should cower in fear of any pronouncement from a politician down there. I suggested that we should shrug it off.

Rarely have I seen such a lack of reading comprehension.
