I`m not sure how to react to your editorial ”But if Wright`s right, it`s wrong.” On the one hand, I am pleased that you now see the cynicism of the Reagan administration and its congressional supporters in their aid to the
”freedom fighters” in Nicaragua.
On the other hand, you seem to be more than a bit naive. Why did it take you so long to wake up and smell the coffee? Did not a reading of the
”Report of the Congressional Committees on the Iran-Contra Affair”
convince you that this administration has been covertly subverting the peace process in Central America? Is there any reason to believe that a mere public declaration of support for the Arias peace plan would mean a change in objectives? Isn`t the fact that Oliver North is a hero to so many Americans evidence that they don`t really care about what our word is worth these days?
