We were protecting American business/corporate interests, I assume? From the commies? I remember reading someplace there were hundreds of American corporations doing business in Nicaragua. But I never knew that much about El Salvador. Never even had the heart to read Joan Didion's book "Salvador."
As I remember El Salvador had a democratically elected leader but he wasn't right-wing enough to suit our leaders -- sort of like Allende.
