<snip>"We will work to combine Iranian investment with other friendly countries," Ortega said. "Venezuela would be ready and willing to take part in an effort like this."

Under the accords, Iran will fund a farm equipment assembly plant, 4,000 tractors, four hydroelectric plants, five milk-processing plants, a health clinic, 10,000 houses, and two piers in the western port of Corinto, Rosario Murillo, government spokeswoman, said.

The signing ceremony, led by Ortega and Hamid Chitchian, Iranian energy minister, came one week after the US ambassador to Nicaragua warned the Central American nation about its increasingly close ties with Iran.

"Iran can be a dangerous partner," Paul Trivelli said. <snip>

Al Jazeera English - News - Iran To Fund Nicaraguan Projects

Yeah, like the US ISN'T a dangerous partner. Remember we used to be partners with Iraq and Afghanistan (oh, that's right, we are again psuedo-partners with Afghanistan after we abandoned them, then attacked them).

This is good news, it looks like things are going to get better now for the Nicaraguans.

Yes, pseudo partners seem to be welcome as long as they do what is expected and don't develop own plans.

Yep what nice Islamic Fascists who stone women to death for sex outside of marriage, now they're supporting that genocidal POS Ortega who should be infront of a judge not the President of Nicaragua, and ofcourse Castro with oil Hugo Chavez. Hay Summer ever met a left wing anti-American police state tyranny that you didn't like?

Strange to say Iran can be a dangerous partner.

What partners of Iran have found danger in dealing with Iran before? If none, then why say it?

Anyway wasnt Ortega elected by Nicaraguans and thats why he's president?

So was Hitler, Putin, Chavez, Ahmendenijad, Mubarak, Mugabe, and a ton of other dictoral nut jobs they were "elected" it doesnt mean it was legit.

And the US public don't lose control of the democratic process after each and every election? No system is perfect, until individuals can stand on their own moral feet and not require to be lead by anyone we will have to put up with the likes of your list. unless you have a suggestion or alternate philosophical premise
to democracy.

And funding death squad and militias that went for "soft targets" wasn't legit even if the funder was the USA.

And who, exactly, did he commit genocide against?

On what charges, exactly? Oh yeah, ******* off the state dept.

If anyone should be in front of a judge, it's George W Bush.

Ever met a democracy you did?

If a coup was attempted in the US, and a decree overthrowing every democratic office (including the congress, and the dept of justice) was signed by the attackers......would any of the people who signed it be outside of the SuperMax when power was restored?

Let alone run as the main opposition for the Presidency, as Manual Rosales did in 2006?
