  • Friendly invader: U.S. soldier takes time out to chat with two Grenadian children during joint U.S.-Caribbean nations' invasion of Grenada last week. Eighteen U.S. troops were killed and more than 80 wounded in the week-long attack - many in accidents or by 'friendly fire' from U.S. forces. Invasion dispelled any doubts that U.S. has now replaced Britain's waning influence in the area.
