30 years ago today, the United States launched a war of aggression against the tiny Caribbean country of Grenada, a country most Americans probably cant find on a map. Grenadas crime was that it overthrew the right-wing regime of Eric Gairy in 1979 and began trying to develop a system of social justice, under the new revolutionary government of the New Jewel Movement, led by popular Marxist leader Maurice Bishop. This was something the American Empire couldnt abide, so in 1983 it seized the opportunity presented by a sudden political crisis in Grenada to launch an invasion of the country, overthrow its revolutionary government and return Grenada to its proper place at the bottom of the neo-colonial pecking order, where it remains.
