Guest Editorial
O By Kyle Nicholas
Once again the Reagan administration is working overtime to
destroy any hopes of peace in Central America. For years now, the
conservative coa^tion has been telling us that the Contras were
necessary for a peaceful solution in Nicaragua.
Now, in the wake of an indigenous Central American peace
proposal, the hawks in Washington are saying we can't trust the
Sandinistas. Therefore, we must continue to toss millions of
dollars into the revolutionary fire. This policy, which virtually
dooms the people of Nicaragua to a life in Hell, is based on lies.
First, is a peaceful solution necessary in Nicaragua? Yes! But
only because we started a war there. Why did we start a war there?
Because the facist government that had served to crush the people of
Nicaragua for the greater part of this century was finally
overthrown, with substantial help from the people of this country.
When the people of Nicaragua put in their own government, the
right wing consortium in this country became concerned that a
government of the people would not ve as easy to manipulate as
leprevious regime. j
The solution for peace in Nicaragua is for us to simply pull out
The idea that we need to send armed regiments of U.S. sponsored
terrorists ir\to villages in order to insure that those very villagers ,
are living peacefully is ludicrous.
The second big fie. and the core issue among Central and North
Americans alike, is best expressed by conservative Congressman
Jack Ktfmp. Kemp, who's political alignment is somewhere to the
right of Atilla the Hun, declared that it is the business of the United
States to decide what is best for Central America. Kemp further
stated that the Contras must continue to operate during the peace
process because the Sandinistas can't be trusted. Can't be trusted to
do what? The Sandinistas are the people's government They are the
sovereign government of a nation that is being systematically
ripped apart by outsiders, namely the United States. Kemp and the
war mongers want the Contras to remain active for one reason, their
Bresence is sure to destroy the Central American peace progress and
ms justify a full-fledged takeover of a strategically important
beachhead.
The winds of a militaristic facism are blowing strong in this
country and Ronald Reagan, as usual, is bending to their force. If
Reagan continues to support a military undermining of Central
America's only hope for peace, the war hawks will no doubt
prevail. And the people of Nicaragua will have nothing more to
look forward to than a harsh, melancholy life cut short by a violent
death. ,
