KP   Oh, El Salvador, too?  They have no border with Salvador.
KP   References, please.

I'm afraid I'm not so sure that there is no common border between 
Nicaragua and El Salvador.
I'll agree that there is no land border , however El Salvador has some
islands in the Gulf of Fonseca  (the mass of water bordered by Nicargua,
[on the SE],Honduras [on the NE] and El Salvador [on the NW] ).These
islands are less than 12 miles from Nicaragua. It it possible than a
maritime boundary exists between N & ES .
Moreover , it is quite possible that these islands(+ mainland ES [less
than 40 miles away from N]) could be among lands viewed by N as a
possible threat to their existence due to the close proximity of 
a diametrically opposed regime(ES).

I hope I'm not seen as nit picking at Ken's reply but feel that he
might have overstepped the mark on this generalization.Keep up the
good work both of you (KP & TCW) as I see you both serving as 
generally presenting well thought arguments which all of us can use
some help doing.
