Reading of a 'Barricada' International Editorial, from February 2, 1991 on the war on the Middle East. The FSLN was involved in diplomatic efforts before the outbreak of war. They call US actions a "genocide in the name of peace." They argue that the military- industrial complex is all the U.S. has going for it so it is logical that we resort to force. They question who can stop the U.S. from punishing competitors. Also from 'Barricada,' a discussion of the controversy that Sandinista officers sold missiles to El Salvador's FMLN. They argue that while the FSLN has a moral commitment to El Salvador, the sale of arms attacks political institutions.
