Caricom Must Not Seat Bouterse

There are many nasty strikes on the political career of Desi Bouterse, who was this week chosen by the parliament of the Caribbean Community (Caricom) member state of Suriname to be that country's new president. He was, for example, the army sergeant who in 1980 lead the coup against the country's early post-independent government, and for most of the next decade led an ignoble regime.

Like most of his type, and in style with the fashion of the day, Bouterse sought shelter behind the fig leaf of left-wing ideology. He ranted against Suriname's former colonial power, Holland.

This is where it gets tricky

Prime Minister Bruce Golding, as Caricom's current chairman, will hopefully agree and will lead the charge to suspend Suriname from the community until another leader is in place. Leaders must know that the passage of time doesn't of itself free them of responsibility for acts of impunity.

Bruised Gelding, Defender of the Mother of All Garrisons, Defender of the Largest Criminal Network in Jamaica, should lead the charge to suspend someone?!?!
