But what about the Nicaraguan Contras, the Tibet Autonomous region, or the Chechnyan rebels. How could he have missed these?

ucee054 was making an example of how the argument of the original post is having substantial flaws. Not everything remotely related to politics is intended as some ideological political statement.

What about them? Tibet is still ruled by China, and Chechnya is, last I checked, still ruled by Russia. The only of the three even remotely successful is the Contras, and the president elected after their dissolution doesn't seem to have owed much to them or do much that they would have wanted.
