Why did we keep sending troops to Nicaragua then?
1912: U.S. Marines invade Nicaragua and occupy the country almost continuously until 1933.
1933: U.S. Marines finally leave Nicaragua, but are replaced by a well-trained and well-armed National Guard under the control of Anastasio Somoza.
1981: The Reagan Administration begins the war against Nicaragua.
1990: The U.S. intervenes in the Nicaraguan election process through covert and overt means.
That dosen't seem very stable to me.
And the best part:
The economy received a boost in 2004 when the World Bank (International Bank for Reconstruction and Development) agreed to wipe out 80 percent of Nicaragua's debt to the organization.
If Argentina and Chile are an example, looks like all hell is about to break loose again.
