CE: I spent three years as a military advisor in Central America during the 1980s, so I’m very familiar with both American influence there (bad) and Communist influence there (worse).

Have you been paying attention to Danny Ortega’s antics in Nicaragua lately? He’s up to his old tricks again. He is trying to steal the election and discredit all of his opponents at the same time. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

I have a buddy of mine working down in Bogota and he tells me much of the same is going on down there, courtesy of Hugo Chavez.
