Ortaga was a cuban back communist revolutionary who highjacked the revolution and turned the country into something worse than Samoza ever dreamed of. He is still in power and his thug brothers are still killing the the people that don't agree with them. When the US threw the FDN under the buss we let ortega ger by with murder most foul. Skagway must be of the cuban school of government. toptoot. I believe skagway1 was eather misinformed about the samoza past and overly nthused with the danial Ortaga brand on communisim.
