Hi Peter,

            I honestly do agree with your assessment of the narcissitic aspects of the Sandinista regime and particularly of their rulng junta of corrupt leaders, but in your reply it sounds vaguely personal like someboy, ONE Sandinista or perhaps a few did something to make your angry enough to loathe them which I can completely understand, but as for a person's complete belief in their land as their birthright it is what is central to the beliefs of all human beings on the planet.  Now because of a constant erosion of national borders through international trade agreements, multinational corporations and outsourcing worldwide, rampant migration through each and every country where sooner or later every country on the planet is going to look like what the United Nations envisioned them to be, a melting pot of humanty that is a mass amalgamation of every society, tongue, race, culture, and creed that came before it and will ultimately lead the world into a Star Trek like fantasy of a Brave New Utopia.

     That is the central viewpoint of many people on the planet, the people on the planet who don't see the world as one big friendly playground, where we can all travel in peace from country to country, live in one place while having summer homes in others, having friends from all walks of life and opening ourselves to new horizons and new ways of thinking where people are free to do what they want and there are no boundaries.  No morality, no nations, no strife, no war, no suffering... it sounds great but it's impossible.  And the single fact is for all it's faults and it has many Nicaragua and Nicaraguans are a stubborn, hardworking, narrow-minded, callous and rude people at their worst, more so than other Latin American peoples.  Why do you think a left-wing fascist viewpoint like Nicaraguan-styled Sandinista Communism was able to flourish in Nicaragua?  Somoza himselft was a despot and dictator, but he was right-wing caplitalist who allowed foreign investment and inversion into the country so that he could fill his pockets with their money and fatten his wallet and those of political cronies and the few, select political families that thought like him.  Any Nicaraguan who is born with a silver spoon in his mouth thinks, acts, walks and talks exactly like any Nicaraguan born with none at all.  It is a national mentality and will that does not allow for capitulation to anything or anybody, and especially not to the vaunted and vastly superior United States.  The Nicaraguans aren't afraid to quarrel with the U.S., it's just that Daniel Ortega is biding his time and is waiting for the oppurtune moment to strike.  I think every American, European, white or foreign investor in who has a pot to piss in should get everything he has out of Nicaragua A.S.A.P., Daniel Ortega is a snake a sickening human being of the lowest order and he and all the other Nicaraguans may be smiliing at the gringos right now but are going to take everything back sooner or later.

    Let me tell you a little story, Peter, about the way the world is because honest to God I believe in America and what it has done for me...

      If any other President, any WHITE President would have been in office I would have gone to war for the U.S. because of the current situation the world is in right now witht he saber-rattling of the North Koreans and all.  But the fact is the current United States President is Black and is of African origin to boot, and to top it all off he is of Muslim extraction...  well in my neighborhood here where I live I go to a local pizzeria which is a place I have been going to for many years.  About a year ago the original owner sold the business to an older gentleman who appeared to be of Italian origin, but as I have gotten to known I noticed a few things.  He would speak very honestly and open with me about his feelings on the situation in the United States, and knowing what I know of the many ethnic groups in the United States I inferred that he was Iranian, but masquarding as an Italian many because he could certainly pass for one but his accent was a little off.  One day when I walked in to order one of my pizzas he casually started a conversation with me which sooner or later turned to politics, and in particular the Presidential election.  As our conversation continued he grew increasingly agitated and exclaimed to me that " these Americans are all about war, war, war, and only want to impose their will on the world.  The Prophet says... "  and that's when I asked him... " THE PROPHET... Ah... which PROPHET is that?  You are an articulate and vastly intelligent man, Peter, now when we hear someone refer to THE PROPHET who are they talking about?  MOHAMMED.  Well, he quickly backtracked in that moment a White American walked in and he quickly attended him, and the man was being very nice and asked him where his pizza recipe was from and he told him " Oh, it's an old family recipe from Tuscany..." 

     The fact of the matter is that although America has enjoyed the fruits of empire for as these years the world is increasingly becoming hostile to America for what it represents, the neo-Roman Empire that is trying to impose it's culture, it's beliefs, it's values on the world and those that don't go along are seen as in the way of America's loftier ambitions so they must be dealt with swiftly and decisively.  And going back to what I told you about Nicaraguans... did you ever get to go to Matagalpa or any of the Pueblos Blancos?  Did you see any of the White Nicaraguans, the German Nicaraguans?  Did any of them speak to you about the racial aspects of Nicragua, and Latin American society in general?  If you ever have the chance visit Chile, Peru, Argentina and Brazil... you'll gain a good understanding of how Latin Americans view race and politics.  There are neo-Nazi groups, anti-Jewish organzitions, etc.  Latin America is a stronghold for such beliefrs, so if you dislike Sandinistas try to separate the Sandinista or the PLC from the Nicaraguan, because ultimately don't get involved with the politics of the country, just deal directly with the people if they'll accept you as someone the would like to deal with.  Ultimately in this world people have a pre-determined set of beliefs, and although you have an evolved way of thinking and an open worldview you must remember the rest of the world really does not.  America is the light in the world, the rest ofr the world is cold, brutal, dirty, and insance.
