It’s Not Sexy Anymore Martin and I stood outside of a meeting place on the campus of the University of Rhode Island. The exact year is hard to determine all of these decades later, but it was during the Contra war against the Nicaraguan government sometime in the 1980s. The Contra war lasted from 1979 through 1990. The Contras were part of Ronald Reagan’s low-intensity warfare and they were murderous thugs and not the “moral equal of the Founding Fathers,” as Reagan said. It’s impossible to make stuff up like the latter. Recall the Monroe Doctrine and the anticommunist bent of the US government. The Vietnam Syndrome had to be overcome because we were an empire with the designs of an empire, but slowly, so low-intensity warfare was just the thing for the reactionaries in Washington, DC and the Contras in Nicaragua. The Iran-Contra affair was all part of that. The Great Communicator, a bumbling incompetent, tried fairly successfully to put US wars back on the front burner after the Vietnam War.
