more USA imperialism more likely
USA to increase imperial wars in Afghanistan/Pakistan, Colombia/Venezuela, Iraq/Iran, more likely...
I got this from my own research on news i read on the internet.
Why all the negative spin on Nicaragua? Times are tough for sure, but its all a bit exagerated when you look at the hard facts. The world economic crisis is definitely being felt in Nicaragua as well but on a global scale Nicaraguans are probably much more stable than the majority of other developed and developing countries when in comes to their ability to be self sustaining with their own resources. In comparison it is much less populated and historically it has always been a agriculturaly rich and productive country.
The general public does not want war in Nicaragua. In fact, Ortega to this day still assures even his die hard supporters that there will not be another militrary draft, that those days are over. The mandatory military draft was the reason he lost the 1990 election. Maintaining peace would actually benefit Ortega's handling of stability in Nicaragua.
Is there abuse of power? Corruption and despotism always prevails in Nicaragua as well as in most other countries. However, you have to acknowledge that atleast he plays dirty politics in a "democratic" clountry. Just like bush stole 2001 and the Supremes court voted in his favor, not much different here...
by the way, Bricenojd points were totally valid.
my two cents
