Firing Line Friday: Contra Aid

     In the hopes of encouraging a more civil, and illuminating, discourse, here is another episode of William F. Buckley, Jr.’s “Firing Line”.

     Whether the United States should support friendly foreign governments against more antagonistic tyrants has been a longstanding question, and is relevant today with Afghanistan and Iraq, as well as relevant with many of the same countries and tyrants as I the 1980’s, such as the question of supporting the Contras against the Sandinista regime, which William F. Buckley, Jr. discussed with Riordan Roett and Susan Kaufman Purcell.

     Until next Friday.
