Contras might cause a terrorist insurgency in Nicaragua again
If you've missed the news about it, here's an article:

I think we should nip it in the bud, if the contras re-arm, then assisting them in any way should be a federal offense, an embargo on any new contra force in Nicaragua should happen if it comes to that IMHO.

4. There was an act against assisting the contras
But I think it banned government aid only.

We need to go the whole way this time around.
