I was always somewhat political but what really galvanized me and made it personal was when the three Maryknoll Nuns and lay church worker Jean Donovan were raped murdered and burried in a shallow grave in El Salvador.I was devestated. Then Alexander Haig apparantly to show that there was no level of moral depravity the Raygun administration would not sink to accused these good women, who only went to El Salvador to alleviate some of the misery we were helping to dump on that country, were running guns and had exchanged gunfire with the animals that raped and murdered them. I couldnt beleive it so I really studied the situation in Central America and sure enough we were on the wrong side of all three major conflicts there. From then on I really studied our foriegn policy. I love it, I feel that we must stand up for what is right. If we dont stand against what is being done that is wrong, with our tax dollars in our name we become complicit. That can never happen.
