University Daily Kansan / Monday, February 8, 1988 7 NationWorld Heroes or villains: Debate on Sandinista regime continues The Associated Press MANAGUA, Nicaragua — The ruling Sandinistas describe themselves as nationalists. Conservatives call them communists. Just who and what they are is a topic of heated debate. The Sandistas' 8-year-old revolution has fulfilled dreams for some Nicaraguans, created nightmares for others and brought hardship to all. "George Washington was as radical as we are," Vice President Sergio Ramirez said in a recent interview. "We have to wait at least two centuries to see what our real conduct will be." Ramirez is among the more moderate members of the Sandinista National Liberation Front, which came to power in July 1979 after the revolutionary war ended more than four decades of rule by the rightist Somoza dynasty. Ramirez says the Sandinistas are the vanguard for implementing radical changes to better the lives of a battered populace. President Reagan said they are communists seeking the help of Soviets to consolidate a Marxist state. Other Sandista leaders point to the revolution's achievements of distributing land and improving education and health care. They blame its shortcomings on the war with the contra rebels, which the Reagan administration has supported since 1981. The war has claimed about 40,000 lives. Political opponents say the Sandinista revolution has wrought repression, confiscations of property and shortages of basic commodities and services including water, electricity, rice and beans. They say that the U.S. Congress' failure to approve contra aid last week will reveal the Sandinistas' true intentions. The Sandinista political party, organized in 1961, takes its name from Augusto Cesar Sandino, a nationalist who fought U.S. Marine intervention in the late 1920s. Justice Department OKs private contra support The Associated Press WASHINGTON — The Justice Department says private supporters of the contra can legally raise funds for the rebels. The contraas' backers will have to step ingently, though, if they want to avoid past mistakes that have led to criminal charges or made them — both wittingly and unwittingly — part of the Iran-contra affair. For instance, U.S. law would prohibit the private backers from shipping arms now in the United States to the contraids without State Department approval. And the department would have to agree before U.S.-made arms could be sent from other countries to the rebels. Other laws prohibit the launching of private military operations from U.S. soil and require the registration of anyone operating as an agent of a foreign entity.
