    ter a period of political and economic turmoil under dictator Anastasio Somoza Debayle, the leftist Sandinista National Liberation Front (commonly known by the initial FSLN or as the Sandinistas) came to power in Nicaragua in 1979 supported by much of the populace and elements of the Catholic Church. The government was initially backed by the US under Jimmy Carter, but the support evaporated under the presidency of Ronald Reagan in light of evidence that the Sandinistas were providing help to the FMLN rebels in El Salvador. The US imposed economic sanctions and a trade embargo instead which contributed to the collapse of the Nicaraguan economy in the early to mid-1980s. While the Soviet Union and Cuba funded the Nicaraguan army, the US financed the contras in neighboring Honduras with a view towards establishing a friendly government in Nicaragua. Nicaragua won a historic case against the U.S. at the International Court of Justice in 1986 (see Nicaragua v. United States), and the U.S. was ordered to pay Nicaragua some $12 billion in reparations for undermining the nation's sovereignty.…

    “Be careful what you wish for”, a common phrase I am sure many people have heard throughout their lives. W.W. Jacob’s takes this phrase and writes his short story The Monkeys Paw around this phrase. We all wish for something extraordinary out of life, Hell, even I have my occasional “God, I wish…” ; but as we all know “ask and thee shall receive” is easier said then done. Jacobs interpetation of wishing is similar to alchemy in which the first law known as the law of equivalent exchange, which states “Human kind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain something of equal value must be lost.” This is the main premise of the story in which everything that is wished comes with a horrible cost.…
