What I'd like to know is this. Since Grenada is British property, when the
US invaded Grenada, why didn't M.Thatcher send in the task force to kick the
invaders out??? I mean it's a violation of British soveignty, and all that.

I don't think I can answer this question. But it looks like that the
US only cares about any international laws as long it is in their
advantage.

You two bubbleheads should get new maps and political geography
books over there.  Granada was not a fifedom of England.  It
falls in the same category as Canada and Australia, if I'm not
mistaken.

Being a member of the Commonwealth is not quite "property of
Britain". And she were pretty pissed-off when Reagan invaded.
Of course, when the son weighs 100 pounds more than his mother,
she doesn't hit him anymore, no matter how mad she is!
