Nicaragua is seeking safe passage for Alberto Pizango out of Peru, and Alan Garcia's regime is seeking to arrest him as cover for the consequences of Garcia's issuing a movement order for some 450 police to engage and seize by lethal force a defensible position from several thousand Indians, which resulted in a symmetric rather than asymmetric fatal casualty outcome.
If the Russians were still in business Obama would play the role of every president since Eisenhower and support the pro-democratic government of ... eventually Roberto D'Aubuisson's Escuadróns de la Muerte, and the Indians would either die in windrows as scripted or trade in spears for AK-47s.
