As a matter of fact. by cutting aid to the Contras. the United States has sent a signal to the world that we really do not care much about which type of regime is established in Nicaragua. If we really do care about establishing democracy in Central America. we must maintain the only card we have to play. which is continued assistance to the Contras. Support to the Contras can take many forms. Of course. military assistance is crucial. but we can also further the cause of freedom by providing food. medical supplies. and housing to Nicaraguan refugees in Costa Rica and Honduras. Supplying such aid is crucial in sustaining the Contras efforts. In conclusion. the United States must begin to realize the importance of our foreign assistance programs and achieving our foreign policy goals.
