I suggest to our righteous friends of the left that the price for selling out Central America is not merely the extinction of democracy in the region and the Sovietization of the Caribbean. but a direct and fearful threat to our own national security. We will then be forced to respond by giving the Soviets their greatest foreign policy triumphthe redirecting of our troops out of Europe and Korea and redeploying them in this hemisphere. And never forget. there is one thing at which the Communists excelthe creation of refugees. I trust our congressional leaders are planning to deal with the human tidal wave of refugees that will stream up the Central American land bridge to Texas and California. I must ask. are the political satisfactions of attacking the Reagan administrations foreign policy worth the price of selling out any chance at democracy and freedom in Central America? History will answerand I hope you are right and I am wrong.
