    This article came out today in the Washington Post.

    Peace isn’t easy to achieve anywhere.

    Love this statement:

    Arias had a knack for displeasing U.S. officials. Reagan’s CIA director flew to San Jose to meet with him, but Arias refused to grant him an audience.

    Ha!

    And this U.S. diplomatic cable where they call Arias “Boy!”

    … Arrogant, disrespectful bas**rds!

    “Alert Ollie [North that] Pres. Arias will attend Reagan’s dinner in New York Sept. 22. Boy needs to be straightened out by heavy weights.”

    I wonder why “those foreigners” think Americans are arrogant.
