I almost did, but I thought better of it. But beyond that, what was Ortega and the rest of the commy scum to do living under a repressive regime? They couldn't go to the U.S. for help. So what choice did he and the rest of his revolutionaries have? I'm not a communist supporter, most of my family died in Soviet labour camps, so I'm totally unsympathetic to that cause. You know under Somoza, election ballots were sealed in see-through envelopes. And if you voted against Somoza, you would likely disappear or worse your wife or daughter would get raped as punishment. Ortega was not a butcher of people like Somoza.
