Subject: Granada, Guatemala, Panama, ...

Isn't it fun to look at the list of countries that the United States either attacked, invaded, occupied or pressured. I think my all time favorite is Granada. That was classic. Real Western style by Pres. Reagan.
People in America today still believe that bogus excuse for that invasion - they supposedly held american hostages (students, teachers, tourists). Rrrrrrright. As Howard Zinn discusses in his book "A People's history of the United States" the American citizens in Granada were never in danger and free to leave at any point.
However, the population and military of Granada was in great danger once the Marines made the island their playground.
They even had the "welcome home" sign when they came back to the States. Wasn't that nice....how uplifting while Reagonomics increase the number of poor in the country by the minute.
Can't wait to get to all those case studies in he class! ;)
until then! Patrick
