See, Mod brings up a funny point. In the 80s, Reagan invaded the island because after the Empire renounced its sovereignty over it, the interim government decided it would be socialist and it invited the Cubans over to help out with some of the technicalities of nation-building. Reagan's excuse? There were American students and tourists whose lives depended on intervention.

Now that people are actually dying, the only major intervention that's come about has been from the British navy for the simple reason that Grenada used to stock English tea houses with nutmeg. Let me tell you, Conservativism makes perfectly good sense and it ROCKS. :-/
