"I can’t speak badly of the North American people. The criminals are those who are governing, those who have the military power, those who have the economic power.
"Those are the criminals, those who armed (the right-wing US-backed dictator) Somoza here, those who organized (Somoza’s) genocidal (National) Guard, which we had to fight against for so many years.
"Those are the responsible ones. Who are they? North American politicians. And what do North American presidents represent? They are nothing more than placed there, by either of the parties, to serve the military-industrial complex. More wars mean more business for the military-industrial complex. To serve the big North American corporations.
"That is to say, they are not there to serve the North American people, but rather to enrich the richest people in the United States".
