Sir Lynden O. Pindling resonates with few post-independence Bahamians
Dear Editor,
Sir Lynden O. Pindling is the father of the modern Bahamas. Having led The Bahamas to majority rule in 1967 and to independence in 1973, Pindling’s name is forever enshrined in the annals of Bahamian history.
Nassau International Airport was renamed Lynden Pindling International Airport in 2006 by the first Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) administration of former Prime Minister Perry Christie a fitting tribute, which brings to mind the Grantley Adams International Airport in Christ Church, Barbados. It also brings to mind the Norman Manley International Airport in Kingston, Jamaica.
Pindling’s image graces the Bahamian one dollar bill, which is symbolic of The Bahamas severing colonial ties with England.

Since 70 years ago the arms race between the USA and Soviet Russia began to spread like wildfire. The Cold War’s battlefield was forged by smaller proxy wars funded by either Washington DC or Moscow; but this has resulted in massive genocides that has killed over a hundred million lives, and destroyed dozens of nations.
The goals of Cold War-era leaders was simple: They want more power, wealth, industrial and ideological supremacy and nuclear weapons.
We’ve seen this when the Korean people had their civil war; but when the US and Soviet forces began to fund opposing factions, things went from bad to worse, and the Korean War ended on a stalemate that resulted in the creation of South Korea and North Korea. The Koreans were split in half senselessly and this was completely avoidable if the Americans and Russians had kept themselves from joining the conflict.
