Reply #11: As I recall, the airport expansion

[ngant17]

by Grenada was considered a national security threat(20 miles wide, population 100,000) because it would allow heavier Soviet military aircraft (i.e., long range bombers) to come and go at will and that was unacceptable (among other things) to Raygun. But after the US overthrew the Marxists (Coard, who killed off Bishop), the airport was again expanded by the American-controlled regime. For exactly the same reasons as originally intended: the business of tourism.

The contrived "threat" to some medical students was the basis for the invasion. A handful of Cuban construction workers offered some rudimentary resistance against the invaders, but they were quickly neutralized by the massive invasion force.

It was a needless war, based on an absolute fraud, it was an unwarranted act of international aggression. A trademark of Raygun's foreign policies. El Salvador, Nicaragua, Honduras. It all fit the same pattern.

There is no such thing as a "feel good war" unless you were one of the government-hired serial killers who got a medal some of those mass-murders.
