En realidad yo no creo que EE.UU tuvo empezo con la creyencia de ser un poder mundial, George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, John Hancock y todos los otros que firmaron la Declaracion de Indepencia de los EE.UU tenian muchas ideas radicales sobre lo que querian pero como todo en la historia lo que puede ser llamada la verdad es subjetado a la interpracion de los cuales lo estan tratando de escribir en ese momento, y las generaciones subsequentes tenien que vivir con los efectos secundarios de las decisiones que sus antipasados les dieron para herencia.  Yo no creo que EE.UU en realidad quieria ser un opresador mundial cuando empezo pero como dice la famosa Estatua de Libertad:  " Give me your poor, your hungry, your tired masses from around the world ( sic ) "  y este pais, Los Estados Unidos de America, empezo como un gobierno de gente de descendia primaramente de las islas Brittanicas y tras los siglos se convierto en una potencia mundial de el sudor y sangre y luchas de tantas razas y gente diferente que llegaron aqui para ser algo.  Para serte franco EE.UU siempre a sido dominado de Brittanicos primariamente... osea lo que te lo que espero que entiendes es que los EE.UU siempre a sido dominado desde las islas Britannicas de una manera o otra, primero por el reinato Britannico y subsequemente de los mas o menos 38 presidentes estadounidenses que tienen decendienza Brittanica de alguna manera.  De que los Brittanicos dominan al mundo no lo dudo ni lo tratare de discutir pero para illustrate a ti directamente Peter is the history of enmity between the Spanish world and the English world that has nothing to do with the present since it is all directly related to the past.

    The wars of religion between Spain and England caused a rift between the two countries that will and has never been mended, and that is why much of American and Latin American relations has always been skewed.  And you are precisely right about Nicaraguans, I am in fact " un indio ", and very proud of it and also very proud of the approximately 30% Spanish blood I have, which I don't show in my physical features but others in my family do.  My people, my tribe that is which I can directly place going back at least 6 generations, is from the region that the chieftain Nicaragua was the ruler of.  As you may or may not know Peter, the cheiftains Nicaragua and Nicarao readily accepted Spanish Roman Catholicism while the cheiftain Diriamben did not, and if that helped any of my people avoid being sent to the mines in Peru or other parts of the Spanish Empire I do not know, but what I do know is that Nicaraguans are fiercely proud people who have always resented Anglo, that is to say English, which is transliterated from the ancient kingdom of Anglia in what is now known as England, encroachment upon Nicaraguan sovereignty. 

When William Walker invaded Nicaragua he was expecting to find a new outlet for his racist views built on the ideas of Manifest Destiny where the Indians and Blacks that lived in Nicaragua would serve him as their undisputed master.  This was unfortunately for Walker not to be because as you know he was executed by a firing squad in Honduras after trying to invade Nicaragua for a second time, although it took an international coalition of basically all the Central American countries to drive him out.  Maybe he shouldn't have f*ck*d with Cornelius Vanderbilt and Nicaragua could have been another Puerto Rico, but who knows?  All I know is there have always been Americans in Nicaragua, and I don't directly resent it because I have a love/hate relationship with Americans but it more love than hate.  I guess you can say I love America for it's freedom and oppurtunity but I honestly have to tell you Peter, with all frankness and as a direct response to your question about racial matters in Nicaragua:  I despise multiculturalism.  I grew up in an area where I had to deal with the poor and huddled masses of humanity from all over the world, and I don't mean to turn your nice website into an outlet for what Nicaraguans think but we can be pretty narrow-minded people and resent other races.  Haven't you noticed when you're in Nicaragua how they treat YOU and how would treat an African-American, or Asian or Middle Easterner?  Hispanic cultures are not very open-minded when it comes to other peoples occupying our hemisphere and I have yet to meet a Nicaraguan who is happy when their children marry people other than Whites.  Did you know that there was a HUGE outpouring of support for Germany and the Axis powers during WWII in Latin America?  Yes, it is very true.  Even now to this day you can go to places in Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Brazil, Peru, Costa Rica and even Nicaragua and meet the White Latin Americans, the mixed Latin Americans, and even " los indios " who have a strong fascistic mentality and would have preferred that Hitler won the war, even though I am certain it would have meant extermination for all of us " indios ", or something else entirely, but who knows?  Fascism is an insane viewpoint but what I am trying to say in a nutshell is that when an American or anybody wants to understand a culture that they do not try to go down to that place and automatically believe that they are a part of that culture, are a part of that race, have a stake in the land, can just move in cos they're American or a member of the White race, specifically the English, because Germans, Italians, French, Portuguese, anybody else are more than welcome.  If the English people had tried to give the peoples of the world a little dignity and allowed them to still stand up and keep their own beliefs and cultures alive then we wouldn't have so much racial, ethnic and religious conflict we have today, which is a direct consequence of the English meddling into others' affairs.  I really like it that you like Nicaragua and loved the country for a while, but you know how they treated you and Ortega will continue to do it to any American or Canadian who goes there.  Have you been to La Plaza de Olaf Palme?  OLAF PALME, HA!  A Swedish Socialist.  Ortega is a friend of Moammar Qaddafi, an Arab extremist.  Friends with Putin, friends with Kim Jong Il, everybody who has a hand in hating America. 

   Why do you now live in Costa Rica?  Maybe being around all the Whites made more sense to you, didn't it?  Think about it, think about the open and covert hostility you felt in Nicaragua and you still seem to be bitter about it in your writings.  Nicaragua is and always will be a hostile country to Americans and they're going they're in droves, lining up by the thousands every year to go into the heart of the lion's den.  I can't wait to see their faces when Daniel Ortega and the FSLN snatch up all their homes and gives them away to " el pueblo ".  It'll happen sooner or later, but you don't have to take my word for it.  I am just trying to let give you insight into what the Nicaraguan people are like because after 150 years of disrespect from the U.S. they won't hesistate to stab America in the back, as will the world sooner or later.  I don't want it to happen but it will as soon as Putin or the Chinese give the order, or maybe Kim Jong Il and Mahmoud will finally push the button.  Anyway I hope you continue to live you great life in Costa Rica, happy and free to do what you please, content in believing that if you do unto somebody as they do unto you that you'll be O.K., but I just want you to know that it won't happen IN NICARAGUA.  Feel free to tell me your thoughts cos I'm just trying to help you understand the mentality of the people down there.  How many comments have you deleted from people who say horrible things to you that are belligerent and close-minded?  That's how the people in Nicaragua are!  Don't put your head in the sand Peter and tell all the Americans in Nicaragua to wake up before it's too late.
