I guess you didn't get my drift. I am saying that the PPP empowerd Burnham as much as Chandisingh. However I must say that i did believe critical support was a good thing at the time even though I was young at the time.
No use Monday morning quarterbacking at this point. I leave that up to Caribny and company.
You are correct. The PPP empowered Burnham as much as Chandisingh did. The biggest mistake Cheddi made was to listen to Castro and support Burnham because of Communist ideology. Cheddi had a chance to redeem himself and he didn't. He should have partnered with D'Aguiar and Jimmy Carter, who was a newly elected president of the US, and take that Guyana government back!!!!
Eventually Carter felt sorry for their foolishness and decided to help the PPP in 1992.
