Hello Harry and Jim,
None of the examples you gave qualified as "truly peaceful" nations as I
offered in my argument.
Grenada had deteriorated to the point where American citizens' lives were
endangered and no one else on Grenada or in the world would take
responsibility for protecting them. So we sent in Clint Eastwood...

Franko......You've got to be kidding me.....Little tiny Grenada, with a
population of less than 75,000 people was a danger to the United States of
America!!! Grenada was a danger to no one at all! I was there in the
early 1980's and Grenada was a very laid back and peaceful country and then
the US Forces decided to invade. The people of Grenada had voted to have a
socialist government and had invited some Cuban advisers to come for a
visit. Is this the reason that the USA invaded Grenada and installed a
parliament under the CIA? It had nothing to do with Grenada being a threat
to the USA.
