...nightmare. The complex issues delay easy answers. Yet at the same time there are myths that should be dispelled in order to understand the situation better. To repeat the obvious does not make it any less true: the root of the Salvadoran dilemma is inequity--political, economic, social not communism. Which is not to assert the angelic nature of the Left. There are plenty of Marsist guerrillas who by not means constitute the panacea for EI Salvador. Still, the left is pluralist.

In a fire-and-brimstone speech last week to a convention of evangelical Christians in Orlando, Fla., he decried Communism as "the focus of evil in the modern world" and summoned the U.S. to resist "the aggressive impulses of an evil empire...

"You Germans had the right idea, killing Jews to stop the spread of Communism." Over 30,000 Salvadorans have been slaughtered in the last two years, but Reagan has nevertheless certified d' Aubuisson's regime as one making forward strides in the field of human rights. As a reward, the President will contine spending U.S. tax dollars on weapons and training for d' Aubuisson's army and security forces...
