I believe our policy is wrong both morally and strategically. We will never win peace by encouraging terrorism. we will never win respect by winking at the murder of American citizens. we will never impress the rest of the world by arming the murderers of nuns and peasants. When I traveled to Central America this year. I met with many Salvadoran refugees. They told me that they had to flee their villages because uniformed military officers were using American equipment to make war on a peaceful civilian population. The soldiers of El Salvador arrive in American helicopters to kill and torture men. women. and children.
