Jean Kirkpatrick: Machiavellian Wonderwoman In 1979 Jean Kirkpatrick published Dictatorships And Double Standards, an article dealing with U.S. foreign policy under Jimmy Carter, including policy toward the Sandinistas in Nicaragua.

The Nicaraguan Revolution was one of the darkest times the country of Nicaragua has been in. Around 53,000 people lost their lives over the 30 years it spanned.
