How would you compare the Sandinistas to the Somoza dynasty?

Don't you find it a little odd that we were able to pressure the Sandinistas into having an election, while we were never able to do the same to the Somozas?

Don't you think that if we had tried pressuring the Somozas into holding elections, we might not have had to deal with the Sandinistas?

Please don't mistake this for a "Reagan post"; it's not. I think Reagan handled that situation badly, but he didn't create it, any more than Carter created the problems in Iran.

It always amazes me how we can pull a pendulum one way, and feign surprise when it swings to the other side.
