Daniel Ortega may be the Forrest Gump of Insurgencies; but he was also the poster child for the "Domino Theory" in Central America.
The Reagan Administration held him and the Sandinistas up as an example of complacency.
Another thing that intrigued/impressed me was the way he faded from view when the Nicaraguans demanded free elections. He could have done worse to the process. For all we know, he's running a PC help desk in San Diego...
Someone mentioned Masood of Afghanistan; which is a very good choice.
