-- The Cubans appear to be "calling the revolutionary shots" in
Central America.
-- The Cubans seek "total victory" for the revolutionaries and
consider negotiations only as a "tactical concession" to "minimize costs."
-- In El Salvador, the Cubans believe the guerrillas will not settle
for either "honorable peace" or "self-determination." The Cubans
oppose guerrilla participation in new elections.
-- In Nicaragua, the Cubans claim they are advising the Sandinistas
to maintain the appearance of political pluralism and a mixed economy,
but admit this is "only a matter of reassuring Western opinion."
It would seem quite unthinkable that the United States would give a government,
in which it's people have no say, a free hand to inflict violence on a neighboring
country to overthrow a freely elected government and at the same time protect
that the aggressor government from its own people.
