Lest we forget, this detestable man was propped up by the US for many years, just one of many. They turned a blind eye to his drugs operations and corruption because he was too useful, being a vital supply link to the contras and assisting in US interference in El Salvador. If you're useful to the US your morals don't matter. One of the main lessons of 20th century history, continuing today in the Middle East with scumbags such as Netanyahu and his predecessors. Heaven help you though if you're a democrat but with left-wing tendencies.
