<<< Shortly after the accords were signed, the CIA offered $3000-a-month bribes to 14 Miskito Indian leaders to induce them to maintain the military conflict. The spokesman for the Indian opposition described this as "a last-ditch U.S. attempt to undercut their plan to pursue a negotiated settlement with the Sandinistas," UPI reported, adding that U.S. intelligence officials "have stressed what they call the strategic importance of retaining Indian participation in the war to help gain international support," the usual cynical exploitation of indigenous peoples. >>>

That last phrase applies to you, as well. Compare the 12 Miskitos killed by the Sandanistas with the 40,000 or 50,000 civilians killed by Somoza during his last year (with American support). Your crocodile tears for this indigenous group are a transparent attempt to smear the left-wing that you despise.
