Well I definitely had no clue about any of these incidents, or how much the US government is involved. Once the SOAs realize what is going on, they cannot protest against the cruelty unless they want to be sent to prison for it! A total of 31 have been sent to prison for excersising their 1st constitutional right by US federal Judge Elliott. So, the government thought it would be creative to change the name to Western Hemisphere Institute of Security Cooperation making it more politically correct but the School of Americas actions did not change. They continued to torture, murder and abuse our God given human rights. For example, the Acteal massacre of 50 Mayans of the Chiapas (mainly woman and children) in a church while praying, that were conducted under the SOA. Why? That is so un called for. And for years and years (and to this day) these types of "justified" war. As Subcommander Marcos said, "Acteal is a symbol of how this government works it simulates peace and makes war,pretends to negotiate and prepares treason,promises solutions and massacres the innocent.”

Nicaragua
Nicaragua April 2011
I went to Nicaragua last year in April for a two week medical mission. I saw a very, very poor country but rich in culture. The way people interacted with one another was totally different than Americans do. They seemed well connected and appreciative of everything and everyone, especially one another. The three things I think of when I remember Nicaragua would be Rich Culture, Poverty and Strength.
1) Rich Culture- In America, we have such a diverse culture (race, religion, social class etc.) In Nicaragua, it seemed as if they were all on the same page. They all had a role, know what it was and worked well with one another.
2) Poverty- They do not have food, running water, bathrooms, lighting, houses etc. Their houses are made of sticks and black trash bags but hey are very strong.
3) Strength- They go through more in one day than most Americans will go through in their entire lifetime and they stick by one another's side through it all.
