Back in Grenada, Bishop told colleagues in his New Jewel Movement that he wanted to test Washington's intentions. He talked of opening a dialogue with the U.S. and toned down his anti-American rhetoric. In response, according to officials both in Washington and in some of Grenada's neighboring islands, Cuba encouraged the harder-line deputy, Coard, to push Bishop out. But this effort spun wildly out of control...
...specter of American military intervention has long been brandished by leftist governments, such as the Sandinista regime in Nicaragua, and by revolutionary movements seeking to stir anti-American sentiment. Nicaraguan newspapers last week published a list of all U.S. interventions in Central America since 1854, when the U.S. Navy destroyed the Nicaraguan port of San Juan del Norte to avenge an insult to the American minister. Until now, such propaganda seemed shopworn. "This would appear to prove everything the Sandinistas have been saying about the intentions of the U.S. here," one American official in Managua said last week. "It gives...
...missiles (See box). The world has a short memory for such matters, but last week the concerns were widespread. Most offended of all was Britain, and for good reason: Grenada is part of the Commonwealth and has the Queen as its monarch. France proved to hold the key anti-American vote during the United Nations Security Council debate on the invasion. It cast its weight behind a resolution that "deeply deplores the armed intervention in Grenada, which constitutes a flagrant violation of international law and of the independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity of that state."

...condone the Administration's actions. We cannot say definitively that U.S. citizens were free of danger, simply because no hostages had yet been taken. In fact, some reports have indicated that the medical students were indeed in danger before the U.S. forces arrived. It was clear in 1979 that anti-American sentiment in Iran could threaten U.S. lives there, but the U.S. government took no steps to safeguard them until it was too late. And that time-over a year and a half later-eight U.S. servicemen's lives lost in a futile attempt to save the hostages and correct...
Patterson: For every Marxist revolutionary that we have intimidated, this action has created at least a dozen Marxist revolutionaries from the younger generation who might have chosen a different course of action. It's just a wonderful rallying call, not only for people who are already anti-American but for whole generations of people who will become anti-American. I can just see all the schoolchildren all over Central America seeing Grenada, and saying you're right all along. Millions of anti-American Communists are being formed by this one act, especially since-to repeat- it could have been avoided...
