Abstract:

Sandinista support for regional and international terrorism and subversion is founded on the strategic objective of exporting Marxism-Leninism. Such a strategy ignores the sanctity of human life, the rights of individuals, and the strictures of international law. Nicaragua has become one of the world's terror capitals. It threatens its neighbors and the U.S. A prudent U.S. foreign policy must seek to remove this terrorist threat to the Americas.
