Yup. The US and Cuba and the USSR (among others) all helped prolongue the
bloodshed over here. And americans didn't exactly get rid of it... The FMLN still exists... not as an armed movement of course, but rather as a political one (which has gained A LOT of strength during this past decade)...
And back then... the US 'helped' us because of their fear of communism spreading...
What I am trying to say is that the US will not go to war unless there are some underlying benefits for them. Honestly... do you think the US will go to war for the benefit of the citicens of other countries???
