That is not quite the way I heard it.  The story I heard goes more like this:

	A certain set of doctors in the U.S. whose second rate sons 
	could not get into medical schools decided to finance their 
	own off shore medical school and found that Grenada was a 
	cheap place to do it.  It was they who were alarmed by the 
	political directions in Grenada, and asked their 
	representatives to intervene.
