OPINION: That Carter Center blockage: a thoroughly losing proposition 

by GHK Lall No matter how I look at this, I am unable to foresee how the caretaker coalition could emerge unsullied from this one re blocking the return of the Carter Center team of observers.  For in this instance of the irresistible force (international community) arrayed and moving against the coalition administration (Guyana), something is going to have to ...
