Letters to the Editor

Dear Editor, Enough writers have reminded us of the diplomatic, foreign relations and ideological consequences of President Jagdeo’s trip to the Middle East.

Dear Editor,  In a letter to the Stabroek News, dated January 24, under the title, ‘Disappointed in President Jagdeo’s criticism of US while in Iran,’ Mr  Leon J Suseran criticized  President Bharrat Jagdeo’s foreign policy and specifically his alleged  criticism of the US handling of the Haitian aid effort while on a state visit to Iran. 

Dear Editor, The letter in SN by Dr Joey Jagan dated January 27 titled ‘Letters and columns are off the mark’ comes from a man whose father was the legendary ‘Bapu’ to many in the Indian-Guyanese community and a working class giant for all Guyanese.

Dear Editor, In your news item, ‘US plays down Jagdeo’s criticism of Haiti role,’ (January 26), I whole-heartedly agree with the Charge d’Affaires at the US Embassy in Georgetown, Ms Karen Williams, waving off President Bharrat Jagdeo’s recent criticism of the US government’s role in earthquake-ravaged Haiti, which was based on this quoted remark: “I was informed that a delegation comprised of Latin American leaders who were going to visit Haiti and contribute aid to that country faced the objection of the US government and could not make the humanitarian move.”

Dear Editor, Two current local situations highlight the law of unintended consequences.

Dear Editor, The recent spate of letters and columns in both SN and KN concerning the so-called split in the PPP as it approaches the local and general elections  are all off the mark in more ways than one.
