If that happens. the fallout. as it affects Guatemala. as it affects El Salvador. and other countries close to the brink of revolution in region. becomes inevitable and the problems of spreading communism in Central America will grow increasingly acute. So it seems to me that the course of wisdom in this case is not to seal off Nicaragua. not to force her into the arms of Cuba or the Soviet Union. but to try to influence events in the direction of moderation. Perhaps we will succeed. And if we succeed. the money will be exceedingly well spent. Certainly. the bitter harvest we reap today in Florida. the thousands of Cuban refugees crowding into our country should be evidence enough of the failure of our Cuban policy. Let us not repeat the same mistake in Nicaragua. On that basis.
