Elections

The Salvadoran presidential elections were Sunday. Mauricio Funes of the leftist FMLN party won. FMLN was the Marxist guerilla group during the civil war that laid down arms in 1992 to become a political party and participate in the democratic process. It is a fascinating time to be in the country. This article is from the New York Times:
