	El Salvador - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		From 1872 to 1898 El Salvador was a prime mover in attempts to reestablish an isthmian federation.
		El Salvador is a democratic republic governed by a president and an 84-member unicameral Legislative Assembly.
		El Salvador is located between the North Pacific Ocean to the south and southwest, with Guatemala in the north-northwest and Honduras to the north-northeast.

	The United States' Approach To El Salvador
		In both cases, a military policy was formulated that integrated military means with political, economic, social, and diplomatic efforts that in the end would lead to the defeat of the enemy forces.
		The officer corps is primarily sourced from El Salvador's own military academy, an institution that has produced a leadership that has been detrimental to much of the war effort, and aided the insurgency's ability to prolong the war.
		In the case of El Salvador, it is being used for something it was not intended: to support a war.

	War in El Salvador
		Despite this contradictory evidence, President Reagan's National Bipartisan Commission on Central America (Macmillan, 1984) justified massive military support to El Salvador because of their promise for "democratic reform." Critics of Reagan's policy, however, claimed that the main objective was to use El Salvador as a wedge between the "Marxist" Sandinistas and the Cubans.
		In El Salvador, his traveling companion, the Mexican reporter Ignacio Rodriquez, is shot and killed by a government sniper.
		When the 12-year civil war in El Salvador came to an end in 1992 with the peace accords signed by both the government of El Salvador and the Farabundo Marti National Liberation Front (FMLN), many activists began to think of the struggle of that small country as off the agenda of the US progressive movement.

	The Stale, Small War in El Salvador (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		The war in El Salvador is "stuck," and the United States is "itself stuck with the war." Washington has failed to "revitalize" the Salvadoran government, which "remains ineffective." U.S. economic assistance "has achieved little." The Salvadoran military remains "remarkably immune" to U.S. efforts to reform it.
		Titled "American Military Policy in Small Wars: The Case of El Salvador," the study is sharply critical of how the Pentagon and the State Department have conducted themselves in El Salvador.
		In the case of El Salvador, the official says, "the government can prevail only if it’s able to persuade the campesinos to give it their active support." And that, he says, will not come about until there is "radical, revolutionary change" in the country.

	Israel and El Salvador
		From its earliest attempts to establish itself as an arms exporter, Israel had enjoyed the patronage of the military of El Salvador, which ruled that small, densely-populated country on the Pacific side of the Central American isthmus on behalf of a powerful plantation oligarchy.
		Refurbished and delivered to El Salvador in 1975, they were the first jet fighters in Central America, representing a significant jump in the level of military sophistication in a region where war had flared between Honduras and El Salvador in 1969.
		Even the prideful way that El Salvador and Guatemala responded when their aid was terminated-both preempted the U.S. move by cutting military ties with the U.S.-might have been expected to blow over.

		After reformist military officers overthrew the Romero regime in October 1979, the Carter administration, eager to improve contacts with the military, allocated to El Salvador a small amount of training funds and US$5.7 million in "nonlethal" foreign military sales (FMS) in FY 1980.
		The provision of military aid to El Salvador was not without its critics in the United States government.
		In 1983 Congress passed a continuing resolution that withheld 30 percent of the military aid until Salvadoran authorities obtained a verdict in the trial of the members of the GN accused of murdering the churchwomen from the United States.

	Equipo Nizkor - Report of the UN Truth Commission on El Salvador
		As this Commission submits its report, El Salvador is embarked on a positive and irreversible process of consolidation of internal peace and modification of conduct for the maintenance of a genuine, lasting climate of national coexistence.
		El Salvador ratified the Covenant on 30 November 1979 and the American Convention on 23 June 1978.
		Although the armed conflict in El Salvador was not an international conflict as defined by the Conventions, it did meet the requirements for the application of article 3 common to the four Conventions.

	Central America and beyond: Death squads and US military perspectives on El Salvador
		As an experiment, cadets from El Salvador's military academy were assigned to platoon leader or sergeant positions in their last 2 years of school so they could apply leadership skills in the field.
		In fact, Vest totally overstates his case when he says that the "U.S. military's own scholarship over the past 20 years holds that that the military and political counterinsurgency efforts in El Salvador are at best a case study in how to prolong an insurgency, not end it." That's just sloppy scholarship on his part.
		I think it was sloppy reporting, where the historic context and reality of El Salvador were ignored either by the source of the comments, the reporter, or both.

	U.S. Catholic Bishops - Social Development & World Peace (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		We stand with the Church and bishops of El Salvador in their opposition to the pervasive violence that haunts their society and their condemnation of the violence of both right and left in El Salvador.
		The large amounts of military assistance pouring into El Salvador have not led to a decisive military advantage for either side, while the military conflict and the diversion of resources have undermined efforts to meet the pressing human needs of the Salvadoran people.
		We urge that any U.S. request for military assistance should be considered and strictly conditioned on the basis of two fundamental criteria: 1) genuine respect for human rights and 2) the good faith pursuit of diplomacy, dialogue and negotiations to end the war.

		The Pentagon’s latest approach is being called "the Salvador option"—and the fact that it is being discussed at all is a measure of just how worried Donald Rumsfeld really is. "What everyone agrees is that we can’t just go on as we are," one senior military officer told NEWSWEEK.
		One military source involved in the Pentagon debate agrees that this is the crux of the problem, and he suggests that new offensive operations are needed that would create a fear of aiding the insurgency.
		But with the U.S. Army strained to the breaking point, military strategists note that a dramatic new approach might be needed—perhaps one as potentially explosive as the Salvador option.
