Lessons from El Salvador
and Iraq
Creating
Hope in the Midst of Fear
By JOHN FARRELL
"Forgive us, Monsignor, for we have
elected your assassins once again . . . " read the top part
of the banner hanging from the stage outside of the Cathedral
of San Salvador during the Mass commemorating the 24th anniversary
of the murder of Monsignor Oscar Romero. This Mass came on the
heels of the ARENA party's victory in El Salvador's presidential
elections. The ARENA party, which staunchly supports US economic
and political policy in Central America, has won all four presidential
elections since the signing of the peace accords in 1991.
In contrast to the banner, the words
of Bishop Rosa Chavez's sermon that night struck a more hopeful
note. "It is true that people voted out of fear in these
elections," Chavez explained, "but if we can create
hope in the midst of fear then the spirit of Monsignor Romero
will truly be with us today."
Before his assassination in 1980, Romero
said that if he were killed, he would rise again in the Salvadoran
people. During the long years of war, disappearances, mass murder
and political repression that followed, people kept Romero's
promise in their hearts; they will have to continue to do so
to meet the challenges of the years to come.
It seems likely that many Salvadorans
did vote out of fear. As an election observer with the Center
of Exchange and Solidarity (CIS) and as part of a delegation
from the Chicago Religious Leadership Network on Latin America,
I saw how the supporters of the political party in power, including
US representatives and mainstream media outlets, propagated fear.
For example, some CIS observers visited a maquiladora, or sweatshop,
just days before the elections and were told by the workers that
their DUI's (the identity documents needed for voting) had been
stolen from them by their employers. Additionally, there were
reports alleging that workers in some maquiladoras were fired
on the day before the elections and told that they could have
their jobs back if the ARENA party won the presidency.
Additionally, representatives from the
United States such as Roger Noriega of the US State Department
and Otto Reich, an envoy of the Bush administration, made public
comments in the weeks before the elections which insinuated that
Salvadorans should consider what kind of relations they want
to have with the US before voting for the leftist FMLN party,
whose presidential candidate Shafick Handal was a leader of the
rebel forces during the civil war. Most troubling of all was
the rumor initiated by supporters of ARENA that the US would
cut off family remittances from the US to El Salvador if the
FMLN won the elections. Although some US representatives, such
as Arizona Democrat Raul Gijalva (D-7), attempted to denounce
the US interference in El Salvador's elections, the Salvadoran
press paid scant scant attention to these statements. However,
when Representative Thomas Tancredo of Colorado (R-6) published
a statement only a few days before the elections saying that
US authorities might find it necessary to control the flow of
remittances if the FMLN were elected, it was the headline story
in the mainstream "Diario de Hoy" newspaper. Many Salvadorans
with whom I spoke said that the fear of losing family remittances,
which amount to a significant portion of the average Salvadoran's
income, was a driving force behind the wide margin of victory
for the ARENA party, which received almost 57% of the popular
vote.
A main source of disagreement between
the ARENA and FMLN political platforms was their stance on the
Central American Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA), recently sent
into fast-track legislation by the Bush administration. CAFTA
would allow for wide scale privatization of public services in
El Salvador. Already, the privatization of telecommunications
and electricity in El Salvador during the 1990's has meant skyrocketing
costs for consumers with little or no improvement in service.
Additionally, CAFTA would facilitate US 'dumping' of subsidized
agricultural products into El Salvador's market and permit multi-national
corporations to patent the seeds that Salvadoran farmers have
used freely for generations. ARENA claims that CAFTA will provide
jobs for Salvadorans while the FMLN and other critics argue that
these jobs will not come with any guarantee of just wages, labor
rights or prolonged sustainability. Additionally, opponents of
CAFTA say that the people of Central America had little or no
input into the terms and content of the trade agreement, even
though the expansion of free trade will impact them the most.
Where, they ask, are the voices of the poor and marginalized
considered in all of this?
A few days after returning home to the
US I saw Richard Perle on C-Span giving a lecture sponsored by
the Heritage Foundation about the issues of pre-emptive strike
and the re-organization of the US military to meet today's new
challenges to US hegemony. In this lecture, Perle was very forthright
about the "common sense" of pre-emptive strike and
other principles that constitute US foreign policy today. Listening
to Perle's talk it might seem to make sense that the United States
should always do what is in the best interests of the United
States and should cooperate with those who will support and further
those interests. This is not isolationist, Perle argues, because
it does not mean that the US is unwilling to work with other
countries, only that it is unwilling to work with countries that
disagree with it on minor and major policy points. The unspoken
assumptions behind Perle's comments are that expansion of free
trade and US military and political leadership worldwide (through
military force or political coercion) are good for the United
States and the world. Furthermore, there is no serious analysis
in Perle's commentary addressing the question of why other people
in the world might harbor hatred against the United States.
Having traveled to El Salvador and Iraq
within the past eight months I must say that the assumptions
which undergird US economic, political and military intervention
must be seriously questioned if US citizens are to contribute
to the creation of hope in the midst of fear. The New York Times
and other newspapers today displayed the gruesome dismemberment
of four US contractors who were killed in Falluja, Iraq yesterday
(March 31). To me, this terrible scene brutally reflects the
consequences of siege and warfare everywhere. In a visit to Cinquera,
El Salvador, last week, community leader Don Pablo told our group
of election observers about the young children and women from
Cinquera who were mutilated and raped by Salvadoran troops, many
of whom who were trained by the US military at the infamous School
of the Americas. Through my work with Voices in the Wilderness
I know the stories of a few of the hundreds of thousands of Iraqi
children who wasted away from lack of medicines during the US/UN
sanctions. Also, CAFTA is a twin of Executive Order 39 signed
by Paul Bremer in September of 2003, an order which allows for
100% ownership of Iraq's public industries by multi-national
corporations and lets 100% of the profits of these corporations
leave Iraq. How can it be possible to create hope in the midst
of such tragic violence and injustice? How can these people have
hope when it seems that the political and economic decision-makers
who shape their future do not consider their views and destinies?
The disappointment that I saw in the
faces of Salvadorans the night after the elections was a mirror
image of the frustration which Iraqis expressed to me in August
of 2003 about the fact that the US occupying forces had not made
things substantially better or more secure for them. Imagine
the disappointment that Iraqis felt after the US invasion when
they saw a large military presence, complete with tanks, defending
the Ministry of Oil and not one US soldier defending the hospitals,
while looters carried away essential medical equipment and supplies.
A similar disappointment was felt in El Salvador last week after
the United States administration, through its direct interference
in the outcome of El Salvador's elections, failed to defend the
principles of democracy. The actions of the United States, in
both Iraq and El Salvador, have perpetuated an impoverishment
of human rights and true democracy, and yet it seems to me that
the people of both countries are resilient and determined to
be hopeful. Perhaps this is because they have no other choice
but to find hope in the face of the memories of a difficult past
and the shadows of an uncertain future. In response, it seems
that I, as a US citizen, have no choice but to consider first
and foremost not the interests of my own country but rather the
well-being and human rights of those whose lives are most dramatically
impacted by the policies of my government and the consumerist,
individualistic culture which molds these policies.

observer in El Salvador and traveled and worked with Voices in
