Angela:
In short we had a dictator for two decades financed and supported by the U.S. The Sandinistas fought them for years, and little by little the people joined them and created a popular revolution, deposing the dictator. And what happened? And it became a new country with free health care, free schools literacy campaign in the country. But. Unfortunately, the Sandinistas are what your country calls socialists. The Sandinistas didn't want their money and resources to go to U.S. corporations, they wanted it to go to their people. So, your actor President, Reagan ordered the CIA to put together an army, called the contras to overthrow our government and this created a civil war, that raged on. Your CIA got entangled in its mess and realized that it would need more money to continue, but it was a secret war, that the American Congress did not want to finance. So, the CIA decided to sell weapons to Iran which was forbidden by your Congress and by international law. And when your CIA needed more money, they decided to sell drugs. Cocaine, to be precise, in your country to finance the Contras.
