The synergistic effect of all three together is much greater than the sum of the parts. and I suggest to you that a continuation of the military pressure through the Contras. a tightening of economic pressure and political pressure will bring them to their senses. The Contras keep the Communist revolution in Nicaragua internalized. They keep the Nicaraguan MarxistsLeninists introverted. Once we pull the rug on the Contras. once they become refugees instead of freedom fighters. then the revolution gets externalized. They become extroverted. and God help the countries that surround this revolutionary MarxistLeninist surrogate of Cuba/the Soviet Union. May I say there is a touch. it seems to me. of moral exhibitionism in those churchmen and others who tell us that aiding the democratic resistance is immoral.
