I came across your post when ‘googling’ for “dzedu,” which was what my children called my father. Technically this is no big deal, but I am also from NJ, and I did teach chemistry at Menlo many years ago. If you are still at Menlo and would like to meet for coffee one day, I’d love to meet you. I can be reached at avarga@oxigene.com.

It’s hard to find educated people in this particular topic, however, you sound like you know what you’re talking about!
Thanks

I agree with your assessment about how US intervention affected the growth of Nicaragua. We try to keep the countries which surround us to be friends with us and when a politician whose ideas go against the ideas we want these countries to keep, we simply try to turn the tide against those we deemed “aggressor”. And this has a long term affect, just as you pointed out, CUBA. The Cubans are lagging behind in almost every phase of growth; My boss was down there for a week doing some work with his church and he mentioned how it seems the Cuban people are 20 years behind us and other strong Latin American countries. Was it President Wilson who had a plan for the Central and South American countries plus the Monroe Doctrine outlined how the countries in our hemisphere should manage themselves and their internal politics. Of course, back then, we didn’t have the CIA or covert operations designed to help or hamper countries we decided were non-conforming to our democracy ambitions for this hemisphere. We must have friendly nations as neighbors………

I don’t know about you but during Karen’s and I visit, we saw the people of Nicaragua not as we see others in the Caribbean islands as being Americanized. We saw them as they are, Nica’s. Of course, political party’s, imports and exports and their monetary system factor in the growth of their country and the welfare of their citizens. Nicaragua is moving in the right direction. Thanks to people like you, the kids with strong backs and minds, their current growth and place in hemisphere, Nicaragua has a chance.
