The U.S.A. PARALYZED BY THE GHOST OF VIETNAM - Gene H Hogberg - July-August 1983

Gene H Hogberg

Turmoil in the Western Hemisphere is growing by the month. The stakes are enormous. Why does one Superpower -the United States- seem powerless to act in its own interest? Central America is ablaze on several fronts. In EI Salvador, recent successes by insurgents have prompted renewed government requests for increased U.S. military aid for that beleaguered country. In Nicaragua, counter revolutionaries- covertly financed by the United States- have taken a firm hold in areas of the countryside. A storm is brewing in the U.S. Congress over Washington's attempt to put pressure on the Marxist regime in Nicaragua. The U.S. claims it only wants Nicaragua to quit supplying revolutionaries in El Salvador. Yet the forces the United States is assisting openly profess that their aim includes the overthrow of the government in Nicaragua. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
