Those who suffer are not those at the top, but are the less privileged members of society.

Look at what President Kennedy managed to achieve during the Cuban missile crisis. If Bush had been president in 1962, do you think he would have avoided a nuclear war?

The Sandinista government became consumed with fighting a war of survival. They were up against the biggest superpower in the world.
