Would somebody out there in noteland like to
explain to me why we're in Grenada???  i'd have
thought that losing 164 + or - men in Beirut
was enough for one week.  did we have too many
Marines, or something?  is Reagan having a
Blue Light special on the poor devils???

seriously folks, what's the logic here?  i just
heard on my local PBS radio station that we've
actually engaged the Cubans and already have some
deaths.  is Grenada strategic?  is Reagan trying
to revive the Monroe doctrine via Grenada?

thank god reagan killed the Equal Rights Amendment,
else i might have to defend my country in Grenada.
(lest someone take that last remark seriously, i am
being facetious.)
