I read with interest your report 'JLP warns Government about Chavez'. The report quotes Mr. Bruce Golding as saying that Jamaica should not support Venezuela's bid for a U.N. Security Council seat because "I think it will affect our relationship with America, how I can't tell, but it won't be good". Over the last few years, I have forgotten this lesson. I have been expressing several views that could be regarded as anti-U.S. I have continued to criticise U.S. action in Iraq. I have criticised its actio...
