> the cia assistance will supposedly stop as soon as Nicaragua stops
>supporting the El Salvador rebels.

boy, have i got a bridge for you!

by the way, the massive surveilance equipment has failed to come up with 
credible evidence of arms support to the El Salvadoran rebels from 
Nicaragua. (This was stated by a high ranking CIA officer and reported
in the N.Y. TIMES about 2 months ago). Of course, every once in a while
we see Ronnie hold up a shadowy nondiscript picture and point a an amorphous
blob and proclaim  RUSSIANS!!!! or NICARAGUANS!!!!! or CUBANS!!!


> if everyone supported the (nicaraguan) government, there wouln't have
>been any rebels for the CIA to support.



The rebels supported by the CIA earn approximately *20 times* what the 
average nicaraguan earns. They have ritually blown up childcare centers,
hospitals and have kidnapped, tortured and murdered families. Many of these
rebels are ex-Somocista's of the dreaded National Guard. 


>The CIA does to Nicargua what Nicaragua was already doing to El Salvador
>in order to coerce Nicaragua into stopping 


As I have stated, one of the biggest frustrations of the administration is
they have been unable to prove this.


>> If they hadn't interfered (CIA) .... the economy and the education 
>>program would be in much better state by now.

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

NO!, as long as government sponsored institutionalized terrorism is the
ruling force, there will never be peace in El Salvador, Nicaragua or
no Nicaragua.
