There is a question for which we will never know the answer: had the U.S. not launched the Contra war to overthrow the Sandinista government, would they have succeeded in bringing socioeconomic justice to the people of Nicaragua?

The mere fact of an American being present could help save the lives of innocent people. That's why I believe in the importance of bearing witness, to become a voice for the voiceless.

Those who suffer are not those at the top, but are the less privileged members of society.

I think for the U.S. government the Sandinistas represented a threat to their dominance of Latin America.

I often traveled to Nicaragua to speak against repressive policies by the Sandinista government.

President Bush should be indicted and should be driven out of office. He should be sent back home in Texas.

I find it disturbing that the media keeps referring to my marriage, since I got divorced in 1979. But the media never wants to let me forget.
