Dirty Daniel, Castro's Spaniel
Their can be few grubbier politicians on the international scene than Nicaraguan president, Daniel Ortega.
Promising he was no longer a revolutionary, Ortega fooled Nicaraguans into giving him the presiedency. Since assuming office he has toured virtually every third world revolutionary regime going.
His latest trip has taken him to Algeria, Venezuela (Russia's two biggest arms customers respectively), Libya and Iran.
He was to have visited Italy as well but was summoned urgently to Cuba instead-apparently at Fidel Castro's personal request (command?)

Ortega arrived in this capital Friday night and was welcomed at the Jose Marti International Airport by Council of State Vice President Carlos Lage and Foreign Minister Felipe Perez Roque.
