Invasion on Grenada?

Im having difficulty finding info on the invasion of grenada in the 80's. I do know President Ronald Regan was behind the invasion and tried to mislead Americans that this island was a huge threat to the united states. I want to know if anyone was murdered during the invasion? The U.S is known for murdering innocent civillians during invasions then when they come back home they recieve a grand welcome back red carpet. I was alsoo informed of the rapes the us soilders commited in Iraq and Im wondering if that was the case in Grenada. Some info please.

The MudderfuKKKing YanKKKeeZ invaded Grenada in 1983 on October, 25*.........

.......to HIDE the MILITARY DEFEAT they RECEIVED in 1983 on October, 23* in LEBANON:
CNN.com - Iran responsible for 1983 Marine barracks bombing, judge rules - May. 30, 2003

This HISTORIC EVENT has been driven OFF the World Headlines and SWEPT UNDER the RUG............
(like it NEVER HAPPENED)

.........NOBODY DISCUSSES THIS because it reflects the Poor Leadership of Commander in GRIEF Ronald Reagan.
(they need to revise the HIStory Books and call that Biiiaatch "CUT and RON Reagan")

The SURVIVING FAMILY MEMBERS of the 241 Dead U.S. Marines Have been Silenced!

When I have visited Grenada I have never brought up the subject of
the US invasion, but a few people have mentioned it upon learning that
I am an American. People who were connected to the US backed government
and benefited financially spoke favorably of the invasion. One guy even told
me that Cuban soldiers had raped Grenadian women. I believe his perspective
came from the comic book below.

I did meet a rasta who runs a vegetarian food stall at the market in St Georges
who offered me anything I wanted for free saying that he had been a political
prisoner for a couple years because he spoke out in opposition to the revolution
and that he was freed by US troops.



It should be noted that the comic book is a US created propaganda tool.
