Well. I think the gentleman is partly right. I think some of them were learned also from the East Germans and the Bulgarian Secret Police who have some very. very tough ways of dealing with people. but my point is. as I watched that teeming mass of refugees at the United Nations camp. I realized suddenly that those are people who are going to end up in one of two places. because Honduras will not even let them work while they are in the refugee camp. Honduras has a high rate of unemployment. They are a poor country and barely able to tolerate this heavy infusion of refugees. Those people in that refugee camp are going to end up in one of two places. Either they are going to go back to their homes where they want to go in Nicaragua. because freedom has been established with help from America. or they are going to come join us. just like the refugees from Cambodia joined us after this Congress abandoned the defense of Phnom Penh on the basis that it would promote peace and later we undercovered literally caches of skulls where people had been mass executed. an enormous genocide.
