Nicaragua: God Is
Punishing U.S.,
President Says
Nicaraguan president
Daniel Ortega said the
financial crisis was
God’s way of punishing
the United States for
trying to impose its
economic principles on
poor countries.
“It’s incredible that in
the most powerful
country in the world,
which spends billions of
dollars on brutal wars,
people do not have
enough money to stay in
their homes,” Ortega,
said in a speech late
Thursday.
Ortega first governed
Nicaragua in the 1980s
when his leftist
Sandinista government
was locked in a war with
conservative contra
rebels who were
supported by the United
States.
He was voted back into
power in 2006.
