Dude, take a chill pill. What was FDR supposed to do? Tell him "no, we don't want to participate with no damn commies, we'd rather lose a million or two more troops in stopping Hitler all by ourselves."?
My point was, the commie thing in Latin America is not as simple as commie haters would have it. Somoza was way worse than Batista in Cuba, best I can tell, the commies in Nicaragua were taking the best route their naive little brains could come up with to get rid of him and make a fresh start.
So all this angst over Che while yawning at Somoza and hating the Sandinistas is just not too well founded, IMHO.
