Although I think there should be a little scrutiny involved, the point is that there is Democratic government now, which is good. So why do people bitch so much? I think all the people who were murdered and made homeless by the Reagan administration's illegal and immoral funding of a proxy army may have something to do with the ongoing concern over this issue. Of course, it is still relevant because the people who were involved in this shameful episode are back running the government again. Not only that but I rather think they are laying the groundwork for similar action against Venezuela (should Bush win a second term) which has committed the same indiscretion as Nicaragua committed, that is having a left wing government and refusing to play ball with the US. | ||

Independent observers validated the result and said the rule of the Sandanista government was legitimate. Several years later, in accordance with their stated commitment to democratic government, the Sandanistas lost a second election and left power peacefully. Nicaragua under the Sandanistas was vastly more democratic than a significant number of other regimes being supported by the Reagan administration, such as Saddam Hussein's for instance. The idea that Nicaragua needed to be subjected to a vicious assault by a proxy army in order to restore democracy does not stand up to the slightest scrutiny. they won an election that had no opposition | ||

Then who was their opposition? The election was held on November 4 1984 with a 75 per cent turnout. The Sandanistas won 67 per cent of the votes cast, which gave them the presidency and two thirds of the seats in the national assembly Three conservative parties that remained in the election received twenty-nine seats. Three other parties on the left won a total of six seats. A number of other groups had withdrawn from the election prior to polling day. As I have tirelessly pointed out, independent foreign observers generally reported that the election was fair and represented the legitimate will of the people of Nicaragua. | ||
