>>Finally you admit there was a Republican Senate, which you have denied all along. Nice that you finally got this one right and admitted it. The Republicans were thus in a position to stop any serious inquiry or impeachment during Iran-Contra, even had the Democrats wanted to proceed with one.

Your ignorance is trying. The Dems regained control of the Senate in the 1986 election. In an allusion to your previous set of errors, it was the Dem Senate and House that granted North immunity and it was that Dem Congress that controlled the inquiry.

>>I especially liked "the subsequent restoration of democracy in Nicaragua is history", by which one can assume he means the Sandinista victory over the contras, and the genuine Sandinista adherence to the priciples of democracy, under which their party later ceeded control over the government in a democratic election, the kind of outcome that we were never willing to allow when our tools were running the country.

Yes the Reagan Doctrine won against the crazed Leftists. The US effort forced the Sandinistas to conduct elections which they lost - against all "informed" liberal opinion.

>>What a riot.

You certainly are.

You are shocking and amazing in your global ignorance. If you only had an education you would be dangerous.
