I think Carlos's reply illustrates the various attempts I've tried to make here, on different issues, to argue that things just aren't so easily designated black or white.To get back to Guatemala for a moment, as an example. Otto Reich, former State Dept. propagandist for the contras, and thorougly contemptible, blasts the Guatemalan gov't as a kleptocracy. The GOG and its genocidal power behind the throne, Rios Montt, object to the intervention in its sovereign affairs. The CACIF, the right-wing business organization, supports Reich, but the Catholic Church agrees with Rios Montt. OK, so the GOG is almost always wrong, but in this case, the Church is also wrong, but CACIF and Reich are right. Strange days indeed.
