I must “retort” to “ugly” smug, hubristic, “Christian ameericuns” that:
o There were the toxic acts of turning-over Nicaraguan anti-enslavement laws and other disruptions of the shenanigans of U.S. imperialist William Walker, and the Filibuster War in 1855 … and other Yankee mischiefs before and after that time.
o The U.S.A. used Marine military-invasions and occupied Nicaragua from 1912 to 1933 and did a “good” job of continuing to screw up this good land and peoples, a mess which was started early on by Spanish & British colonizers.
o The U.S. supported the right-wing dictatoral Somoza regime in Nicaragua for ca. 45 years. (The Somoza family held most of the agricutural lands of Nicaragua, and impoverished the people of Nicaragua to the point that it is the poorest country in Central America today.)
o With his corrupt military and financial support of the Contras, Ronnie Reagan continued this disruption and devastation of Nicaragua. This legacy of Nicaraguan disruption and U.S.-induced turmoil continues to date (and detrimentally affected my good young friend, Deyling Rizo, and his wonderful family).
I would encourage our fellow ugly ameericuns to thoroughly study the history of poor Nicaragua, and talk to a diverse complex of Nicaraguans before passing judgement on this struggling nation which has to put up with the undeserved, tremendous power of the extremely parasitic U.S!
