Nicaragua Quotes
I helped purify Nicaragua for the international banking house of Brown Brothers in 1909-1912. I brought light to the Dominican Republic for American sugar interests in 1916. In China I helped to see to it that Standard Oil went its way unmolested.

Nicaragua dealt with the problem of terrorism in exactly the right way. It followed international law and treaty obligations.
