You brought in the word arrogance before I did -- and I was being satirical.
Nyaah :-).  People who go to Nicaragua to protect Nicaraguan civilians with
their own US citizen bodies are hardly being arrogant, as you stated without
satire (that I can detect).  There are probably alot of people out there
who should do a little reading about Witness for Peace (those rabid Marxist-
Leninist Liberation Theologians, and, no doubt, faggot haters).
