This is just plain wrong.  Seems to me the reason was something about Nicaragua
and the El Salvador rebels they were supporting.  The CIA assistance will
supposedly stop as soon as Nicaragua stops supporting the El Salvador rebels.

This never was the case in any country, is not now, and probably never will be.
Besides, if everyone supported the government, there wouldn't have been any
rebels for the CIA to support.

The CIA does to Nicaragua what Nicaragua was already doing to El Salvador in
order to coerce Nicaragua into stopping and the whole situation is the CIA's
fault?  Two wrongs don't make a right, but your logic is twisted.

Couldn't we say the same about how things would be in El Salvador if Nicaragua
hadn't interfered?
