THE CURIOUS AMERICAN REPORT ON NASSAU AND FREEPORT

The Americans have a curious way of showing their friendship to countries whose support they want and crave.  Just take what is happening with the Summit of the Americas.  The Americans want all the Caricom countries to fall in lockstep to show in Los Angels for the Summit in June to make them look good.  But the Caricom countries have asked for Cuba to be invited. The Americans flat out refuse.  Then in the case of The Bahamas this week they posted a report which said that Nassau and Freeport in The Bahamas  are two cities which posed potential terrorist threats to American interests. Their spokesman could not say what those threats were, probably because there are none. They have the most unfortunate way for saying things and the world’s worst timing in the world.  Problem is they are too big to care and to big to do anything about, save railing at the wind.
