Being a tool of the United States in its immoral foreign policy does not rank Seaga amongst people to praise or emulate.
It was Manley who stood up to Kissinger and suffered the consequences. That took courage and morality in the face of what the United States did to the Sandinistas, Salvador Allende in Chile and people all over Central South America and the Caribbean.
Seaga was Reagan's dog.
No right winger as Seaga was/is ever gave two shiites about the poor or working people. That's why Seaga was newly elected President Ronald Reagan's first official guest.

Speaking of Reagan's dog...
While in Kingston, in much earlier years, I once lived next door to one of the executive members of the now defunct Workers Party of Jamaica (WPJ), without being aware of it.
When I became aware was when I noticed the guy's dog barking furiously on some nights. I inquired of someone who lived in the area as to why the dog was so perturbed, and why did the neighbour keep saying "<span style="color: #FF0000">down Reagan, down...no, Reagan no...</span>" as the dog would bark like it was losing its mind.
The answer was that I lived next door to an executive member of the WPJ, and whenever the dog barked incessantly, the Chairman of the then WPJ, was visiting for his regular meetings. The man also chose the name Reagan for the dog. To ask a silly question, I wonder if it was a coincidence in names???</span></span>
