The President and his senior advisers present this request as an "either/or" proposition: either youre with the President or youre for the Communists. The tone of the Presidents televised remarks on Sunday night was an affront to both Democrats and Republicans who oppose this aid. Some of us feel their are alternative ways to achieve peace in the region. this does not mean we want a MarxistLeninist foothold in Central America. The scare tactics would be more effective if the allegations were true: where are the millions of Nicaraguan refugees streaming across our border? Then there is the litany of Sandinista labels: exporters of revolution. terrorists. antiSemites and now drug traffickers. What will they be next month?
