Nicaraguan support for the Sandinistas was widespread and strong. If it wasn't they would not have attained power. It is certainly fair enough to say that the Nicaraguans chose the Sandinistas over Somoza. The Contras never generated the kind off mass support that the Sandinistas did while they were fighting Somoza. And very few Nicaraguans, even those who opposed the Sandinistas, believed that the US had any right to choose a government for Nicaragua. Prolonged US support for Somoza completely destroyed any credibility we might have had as a political arbiter in the region. Most of the contras were only in it for the drug-export licenses anyway.
