[Marxism] Caricom news re: Haiti

[Christopher Carrico <ccarrico@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Two reports from Caricom meetings in Antigua.  I'm not quite
sure what to make of the decision to send Caricom troops.
That is, whether or not as part of a U.S. led military
presence this is a contradiction w/their opposition to the
interim government.

In general, Caricom's refusal to recognize the Latortue
government in spite of US pressures, and its pursuit of US
censure through the UN and OAS is rather surprising given
that it has been rare in recent years to see this area
united against the US about anything.  Caricom's main goal
has been the promotion of a single market and economy and
the development of capitalism in the region.  There has been
a reluctance to oppose the US on much of significance.
