I'm not sure I understand your point about the Iran/Contra deal. It sounds like you're saying that Helms was generally not big on foreign aid, but he was in favor of funding the Contras. What is wrong with that? It's good if a politician is open-minded and judges each situation on it's own merits as opposed to "always being against foreign aid" no matter what.

In terms of his actions, he had African-Americans in top positions on his staff. Actions speak louder than words.
Oops my bad.

The Contra's were not supposed to be funded by law.
So not only does he not believe in funding, he goes against
the law.
