It was rolling thunder overhead on Thursday, May 9. Startled schoolchildren screamed fearfully. Buildings shook, glasses rattled. Public buildings nearby went into a wintry hush. Dead silence reigned. Guyanese were awed. American warplanes overhead in an earsplitting, teeth rattling, mind blasting volley of sound. It wasn’t a movie. Only real life. God! It’s good to be American. As a demonstration of closeness to Guyanese, that American flyover cannot be beaten. Not by the Commies. Not by the Chinese. Not by anybody from anywhere. Is Mr. Maduro listening? Madame Ambassador, could arrangements be made for that flexing of intent, of Guy-American solidarity, of US might to fly over Caracas? But were those warplanes really for Guyanese interests?
