European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - June 5, 1987, Darmstadt, Hesse                                The stars and stripes Friday june 5,1967 columns today s crossword Why the fuss about Nicaragua Brandy Rodney la seems As though we re making an awfully big fuss about Nicaragua a Small poor weak country that ii More to a pied than feared. The United stale has pulled All sons of dirty tricks trying to bring Down Nicaragua s government. The average american does t car whether the sandinista or the Contra run Nicaragua. We would t know a Sandin Iila froma Contra if we stood behind them in a line at the Bank. As americans Are we supposed to hate these peo ple we Don t even know it s hard enough hating All the people we know personally who deserve h. Arete nicaraguans really to be treated like an enemy if Nicaragua is dominated by communist is it a serious threat to Oklahoma president Reagan wants to give the contras another ji05 million next year. Never has so much been Given to so few for so Little. If we re going to spend All that Money on Nicara Gua there Are Wiser ways to spend it than on weapons. It would make More sense 10 try to win Over to nicaraguan people in a Friendly Way. If we win by spending million to blow up their Power plants and their Bridges you All know what comes next. We re going to have to spend More Mil Lions helping them rebuild their Power plants and their Bridges. That s the american Way. Nicaraguans Are like people everywhere they Don t care which Wing their government is left or right As Long As theyl Pavc jobs and enough to eat. Communism has never done such a wonderful Job of restoring any country s Economy thai we should worry about a country going communist. What usually happen with a left Wing governments thai it decides everyone who disagrees with it is the enemy. The communist government that starts outs a government of the people ends up pulling people in prison. Communism is not Only oppressive but the system does t work and the people hate it. Why Are we so worried about communism what we re doing in t Nice. The United slates should t be overthrowing someone else s govern ment by hiring people to do the Job. There arc other ways we might help Nicaragua and at the same Lime help ourselves. Chrysler is offering $1.5 billion for american motors. Instead of spending that Money on a dying car company How would in be if Lee Iacocca bought Nicaragua he owes this country something because we bailed Chrysler out with he Sam amount a j1.5 billion loan when it was going broke. Then United states would be getting out of i cheap if in paid Chrysler Someth ing like j50 million a year to keep Nicaragua from going communist once Chrysler moved in. Maybe Chrysler could even make a Deal with the japanese to run Nicaragua for the for half Price and pocket the difference.
