Yep and that’s on St. Reagan who had no knowledge at all about the region and just wanted to be anti-communist without knowing anything about the country or its people. Didn’t know that about Mexico btw. I know more about MS-13 since i know more El Salvadorians and those of El Salvadorian descent than I do those of Mexican. On another side note, it drives me crazy when every single Latino is assumed to be A) illegal or B) Mexican, or C) both.

Yup, Kaspar Fucking Von Weinberger was the architect of the American response to The Central American Problem (with oodles of help from brainiacs like Colonel Oliver North (Idjit, USMC), based on the assumption that American corporations, at all costs, needed to maintain access to lap dog governments ensuring American access to raw materials, bananas, and cheap factory laborers.

If the natives get restless, put Central American government Special Forces troops through the School of The Americas at Ft. Benning to suppress those who have forgotten their place in society by getting edjumacated and challenging the status quo ante.
