We hear a lot of hyperbole about our policy toward Central America. Some would have us believe that supporting the Presidents peace initiative is tantamount to voting for a Gulf of Tonkin resolution. but I would suggest that the opposite is the case. The real danger lies in turning our backs on the problem. covering our eyes and hoping it will go away. or that others will somehow fix it and make it right for a few Yankee dollars. or that a little refugee assistance will somehow salve our consciences. That is not the way to deal with Communist expansion. Let us not kid ourselves.
