"Ronald Reagan's campaigns against the leftist Sandinista regime in Nicaragua and the leftist . . . guerrillas in El Salvador took on all the characteristics of a holy crusade against communist forces in Central America. From the beginning of his first term, President Reagan sought to overthrow the Sandinistas, employing tactics that included economic sanctions, a campaign of public misinformation, support of rightist counterrevolutionary armies (the contras), and covert terrorist operations aided by the CIA."

I guess that the writer does not support American involvement in Nicaragua and El Salvador. He thinks that the United States was not justified in becoming involved and that this intervention is not permissible.
