Reagan's justification for invading Grenada was that he was protecting the hundreds of American medical students studying in Grenada.

What a coincidence, just received a one-ring call from a Grenada number (473 area code) a few minutes ago.

My assumption since the invasion of Grenada was every domestic source was trying to mislead me.

If someone were to build a brand around a.gd domain, could Grenada change their rules to disallow international commercial usage?

Other consumers across the country report calls from the Dominican Republic (809), Jamaica (876), British Virgin Islands (284) and Grenada (473).

No security detail is going to achieve much against another illegally-financed Contra campaign, a Grenada invasion, or a replay of Chile.

His successor was involved in lots of hot conflicts, from illegal covert operations to the invasion of Grenada to the bombing of Libya.

WW2 Democrat, Korea Republican, Vietnam Democrat, Grenada and Panama Republican (if they even count), First Gulf War Republican, Kosovo Democrat, Second gulf war / Afghanistan Republican.

I'd definitely strike OIF from that list as it suffered from the same lack of ground control that OEF has and I'm not sure I'd count the Falklands or Grenada as a major military campaigns.

Let's look at a little history here: Korean War - Hmm, no declaration of war Vietnam War - Same Grenada - Same Panama - Same Desert Shield/Storm - hmm, no declaration here either OIF - Same OEF - Same So the pattern is pretty clear, that declarations of war aren't worth the paper they're printed on.

To enough of a point to be concerned: The other half can be extrapolated from actions during the war on drugs/terror, whistleblowers, iran contra, northwoods, vietnam, grenada, bay of pigs, chile, and generally messy law making.

I'm used to playing the "UK, United Kingdom, Great Britain, England..." guessing game in drop down lists but putting "United Kingdom" in between Gabon and Grenada is a new one.

Yours gets you to Grenada, Malta, Maldives and Saint Kitts and Nevis (ignoring the EU for a moment).

Or even seemingly small things: ending the Brezhnev Doctrine by taking back the tiny island of Grenada.

So in that light, Russia has much more standing to go into the Crimea then Reagan had to go into Grenada.
