In terms of trying to uncover what the people of Grenada actually
think of the Cuban and/or US interventions, I recall seeing an article about
a month ago (could it have been some anniversary, such as one year, after
the invasion?), in either Time Newsweek or US News and World Report
(perhaps all three, as news items tend to track pretty well in all three
magazines).

Either of these magazines ought to be a little more un-biased than either
the administration, or some of the foes of the administration.  In any
case, the reporters went to Grenada and tried to talk to as many people on
the street, workers, etc. as possible.

Their conclusion was that the majority of the Grenadan people supported
the US intervention, and supported the plans for re-establishing
the Grenadan govt.  Sure, there was dissent to this opinion, but it was
clearly in the minority.  Worthwhile reading, anyway.
