JDX vs Dudus extradition
We, the self-righteous, want the prime minister's head on a charger, but after listening to Lord Anthony Gifford's explanation of the extradition process on TVJ's morning programme and subsequent events which are unfolding, the following is clear.
1. Had the attorney general signed the extradition order last August/September, the Jamaica DebtExchange (JDX) and International Monetary Fund (IMF) agreements would have been compromised or even derailed.
2. The Opposition wants power at all cost, including the derailing of the JDX and IMF agreements. This is wickedness in high places!
3. Thank God, the Government used wisdom in placing the economy and the people of Jamaica first, instead of personal gain.

Where are the forgivers?
I have watched and listened to the saga on the Manatt, Phelps & Phillips saga and have noticed that the churches and other organisations have been calling for 'blood'. When church members molested little boys and girls, I did not hear the cry 'Let's get blood now'. There is forgiveness for the church members but none for the politician who did not break any law.
It is time we wake up and smell the coffee and be honest with ourselves. People outside the church looking in will not come because of how they perceive the members, that is, not to forgive the politician, which is a no-no.

Who is in charge ?
Every country has political problems, but I believe Jamaica's politicians went out of their way to cause this Dudus crisis. I would like to return home permanently but am concerned about the current unrest. Americans are told if they visit the island to remain within the hotel areas.
Who is in charge in Jamaica? The politicians or the gunmen? Why is the prime minister seemingly bowing to the demands of the gunmen? Is he a man or a mouse?
