U.S. News examines President Reagan's options for ridding Nicaragua of the Sandinistas' rule. "Nicaragua poses a deepening dilemma for Reagan. If the contras are revitalized by infusions of fresh American money and weap-ons and become a viable threat, Nicaragua could decide to attack reb-el bases in neighboring Honduras, an action that would boost chances of direct U.S. military involvement. But if Congress withholds support to the contras, Managua will have no urgent reason to come to terms with Washington." The actions that Reagan chose to take would lead to the Iran-contra crisis.
