    I think that they would probably find another reason to hate us if they couldn't use whatever reason they are using now. Most of the reasons given by authoritarian regimes are downright falsehoods, conspiracy theories and so on.

      There's no reason to believe that some significant segment of the Laotian population wasn't aligned against the United States based on the United States sticking their dick in the beehive and indiscriminately bombing areas around the Laotian and Cambodian borders? Do you honestly believe that everyone aligned against the US in the world is an ideologue at heart? Sure, North Vietnam and the USSR supported revolutionary action but it's not like these were unpopular revolts with a small base of support.

      Do you think every person in the Muslim world who is hateful towards the US does so because they disagree with the politics of the United States and the conceptualized freedom is symbolizes? Not smaller things like having their weddings blown up and ****?

        Not every authoritarian regime is North Korea.

            The way you paint it HC, The US sounds like Ben Kenobi when he's at a loss for why people hate him.

Ending the embargo is absolutely retarded.
                      And you know this from your uncountable visits to the island, right? I also like how you don't care about the people at all, only about your ****ed up notions of justice.

                        Some of them? Yes, probably. Most of them? Not a chance.

                          I know this because Venezuela has it's own problems and when push comes to shove Cuba is ass out.

                          Why do liberals always have to say you don't care about people? Caring is no reason to do the wrong thing.

                            Cuba needs this in a big way. Their two biggest benefactors Russia and Venezuela are going tits up due to tanking oil prices. They need a new sugar daddy.

                              Maybe or maybe not. Personally, I doubt the Republican controlled Congress would do any such thing.
