>>> There you go again.

Reagans clever rejoinder when he was about to launch a prepared rebuttal in the Carter-Reagan debates, based on the demo briefing papers, which he later cagily admitted his side stole.

>>> The Sandinistas were never supported by the people, as the their landslide defeat revealed.

They were in office for a while, and in a Democracy there comes a time to throw the old administration out. So what? The difference was that under our tools, the military would intervene or the government would rig the election whenever there was a chance of defeat.

>>>Every mainstream historian credits the Reagan Doctrine with that success,...

At the Cato or the Heritage, I suppose? What a joke. This was Reagan's Vietnam. The difference being the second time around we knew to cut our losses instead of carpet bombing the place.
