US embassy cable - 04TEGUCIGALPA1322

Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

1. Editorial in Tegucigalpa-based liberal daily "La Tribuna" 
on 6/9 entitled "The legacy."  "The passing of Ronald Reagan 
has brought back the controversy of the time of civil war in 
Central America.  Considering where these countries are now, 
opposed to the crisis they were going through and the bloody 
battles they had to endure during the lost decade, the 
American policy toward the region was significant for the 
region's current political landscape." 
 
"Our present situation could have been much different if we 
hadn't been influenced by the obstinate determination of 
President Reagan who, by defending his country's own 
interests of national security, pushed for the consolidation 
of the democratic liberties we enjoy today."
