But these accusations are meaningless in light of the overwhelming testimony by Nicaraguans themselves who respond that they are fleeing from the Sandinistas. not the Contras. The Nicaraguan resistance is the only force standing between the Sandinistas and unchallenged dictatorship in Nicaragua. Abandoning the resistance is tantamount to consigning the Nicaraguan people to the kind of dictatorship that has gripped Cuban for 30 years. Therefore. it is incredible to me that anyone would suggest disbanding the Contrasand effectively allowing the Sandinistas to consolidate their poweris the way to address the Nicaraguan situation. Ronald Reagan called communism a "huge refugee machine" and predicted that the Communist Sandinista regime would produce thousands of Nicaraguan refugeesjust as did the totalitarian regimes in Vietnam. Cuba. Ethiopia.
