Another One Bites The Dust

El Salvador has fallen to the hands of the leftist group FMLN. Mario Funes, the ex-CNN Español and popular TV morning host, has won the presidency with 51% of the vote. Experts have warned that with a FMLN victory the country can turn communist. El Salvador has had very close ties with the U.S. throughout the years and has been the Latin American country that has kept their troops the longest in Iraq. The Obama administration has assured Salvadorans that it would work with any leader elected. President Bush warned in 2004 that a FMLN victory would hurt ties. I guess Obama has no problem talking with a leftist president whose party affiliation is a group the Regan administration battled with in the 1980’s.
