What should be recognized is that this constitutional move, while polarizing whites, was denounced unilaterally by puppet homeland chiefs and leftist African National Congress members alike. It was a remarkable show of unity from groups that historically have been at odds. The threat of a unified 22 million Blacks in South Africa will inevitably have to be reckoned with and no token reforms can make their persistent threat of resistance vanish...
...flowing to the free world from the Middle East. This implies a determination to defend Saudi Arabia, Oman, Egypt, Jordan and Pakistan from threats external and internal. Six months of maneuvers and training exercises in Honduras, involving up to 5,000 troops at one time, underscore U.S. opposition to leftist revolution in Central America. The U.S. recently felt obliged to send AWACS planes to watch Libyan activities in the African state of Chad...
...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.

Had Washington given Bishop the chance to establish a positive working relationship with his country, he might very well be leading Grenada on a moderate leftist course today, supported by some to the light he had previously spurned. Instead, the myopic U.S. policy squashed whatever hope there was for a center-left government in Grenada, and gave impetus to the more extreme Marxists who overthrew Bishop. Such criticism of past U.S. foreign policy mistakes may be irrelevant...
