These remarks and numerous other statements. and more importantly. actions of the Sandinista regime. make it clear that their objective is the establishment of a totalitarian Leninist state and the spread of their ideology throughout the region. Clearly both of these objectives are directly counter to U.S. interests. Sandinista success might well produce a flood of refugees into this country and lead to a reappraisal of many of our global commitments. If we remain passive in the face of the activist. aggressive policies of the Communists. we will allow them to determine the future of this region. Central America is a pressure cooker about to explode.
