The United States now moved to block the Nicaraguan government from putting down the rebellion. They employed the same tactic that had been used in Hawaii twenty-seven years earlier, forbidding the Nicaraguan soldiers from firing on the rebels for fear they might hit American civilians. US Warships then deployed Marines to enforce this order.
The quote, ‘When history is written, the contras will be folk heroes’ is from Elliot Abrams, Ronald Reagan’s Assistant Secretary of State and major architect of the war with Nicaragua.
