Carlos: Why does your friend look so sad, Padre? Rev. Sloan: Well, I'm afraid it's personal, Carlos. Mike: I'm losing my wife. Carlos: Oh... I'm very sorry, senor. I know how you feel. I lost my wife and two sons when Guatemalan Security Forces burned down my village. Be strong, amigo. You're not alone. Rev. Sloan: Wow... aren't cultural differences amazing?

When this strip ran originally in the paper, I cut it out and pasted it into a book.“Aren’t cultural differences amazing?” has been my go-to expression ever since for people who talk past each other out of ignorance or misunderstanding.

The strife in much of the world is a direct result of meddling by the usa on behalf of wall street, the big corporations and the megarich.

Or as the old proverb goes: “I felt sorry for myself because I had no shoes, until I met a man who had no feet.”
We have to learn to put things in perspective.

No, it was the Contras, those thugs, and the Taliban:“Freedom movements arise and assert themselves. They’re doing so on almost every continent populated by man-in the hills of Afghanistan, in Angola, in Kampuchea, in Central America. In making mention of freedom fighters, all of us are privileged to have in our midst tonight one of the brave commanders who lead the Afghan freedom fighters—Abdul Haq. Abdul Haq, we are with you.
They are our brothers, these freedom fighters, and we owe them our help. I’ve spoken recently of the freedom fighters of Nicaragua. You know the truth about them. You know who they’re fighting and why. They are the moral equal of our Founding Fathers and the brave men and women of the French Resistance. We cannot turn away from them, for the struggle here is not right versus left; it is right versus wrong.".BTW, Daniel Ortega is now the democratically-elected President of Nicaragua. I know you all hate elections.

Typical Trudeau. It was only the government forces who ever did anything bad. The Marxist rebels never committed any atrocities. I know this is an old cartoon, but he hasn’t changed.

And the Marxist rebels were saints? The left loves the French Revolution and the rebels there murdered nuns. There were good leaders in Latin America back then but they were caught between extremists on both sides.
