Governance at the crossroads

By GODFREY ISAACS | Fri, June 11, 2010 - 12:00 AM

WITH ALL the intelligence and common-sense, we claim to have in this civilise era we are still in slavery, using brute force and ignorance. The administrations across our region and beyond haven't move forward at all.

We cannot remember not to forget positivity, when President Barrack Obama ordered interrogation to stop, even on terrorists.

The now Jamaica situation shows us clearly how backwards our leaders are.

The administration and public officers are call to be bureaucratically skilful in managing the affairs of their people professionally.

What should have been a non-military operation, turns out to be a disaster. The Jamaica situation, shows us clearly how blurred is the visions of our regional leaders.

I do pray that our region's technocrats can come together with a purposeful plan swiftly to help our armed forces and leaders in governance, to be able to think critically and not to act before they think.

Our region's leaders and security forces need to be educated professionally. This region claims to be educated; show the world what is education. A sound education of the people, is a nation's future.

Posted by Ric 1 year, 11 months ago: A word to Mr. Godfrey Isaacs. Before you admonish the leaders in the caribbean to “educated professionally” you might want to take the time to educate yourself first. Especially of the facts when you are writing about something as important as this. The fact is Mr. Isaacs is that President Obama did not order the interrogation of anyone, including terrorists as you stated. What President Obama did was to order that TORTURE will no longer be tolerated during any type of interrogation even of terrorists. That Mr. Isaacs is what civilized nations do. They interrogate but they do not torture.
