We are like neighbors seeing a crime on the street and pulling the shade. we do not want to get involved. So lesson No. 1: America is incapable of acting for good ends in the world. We no longer understand the relationship between force and diplomacy. You say you want negotiation? But you need an instrument of negotiation. With whom will the Sandinistas negotiate if we turn the democratic resistance into refugees? Lesson No. 2: So consumed by partisan politics are we that a fixed determination has been reached that Ronald Reagan shall not have a significant victory in the case of Nicaragua. Never mind that democracy and security for the whole area are at risk.
