Bush Unveils Measures to Weaken Cuba's Castro

[Japher]

anyone who's spent 45 years 100 miles from the US, with both middle fingers raised, yelling "Se come mierda!" can't be all bad

Well, sounds like a fly on an elephants arse to me. I would rather wait for the pesky little thing to go away then stir any waters. Yet, you shouldn't piss-off your neighbor if you don't want him to crap on your lawn...

The US has been crapping on the neighbor's lawn ever since the Monroe Doctrine.

canada likes us. 80% of their exports are gobbled up by us. and the alternative is to be next to mexico.

Michael, you jackass.
It's Cuban's in Miami that are so hot to oust Castro.
How many truckboats are headed Cuba's direction?
Do you see Che breaking his hump to get there?
No, to both inquiries. So ram it!

I think like's a strong word. We're like that nasty, brutish, violent, insane, rich, gangster of a cousin we Italian-Americans all have. We don't really want to know them, but they're family.

Hey Sloww, why not build a raft and go liberate Cuba yourself. I hear Bush will even provide air support.

I guess Commies really do want dictatorship.

I find this interesting too. Commies like to say that prior examples have betrayed "true" communism. However, they will defend every communist country to the bitter end.

As to what Bush is doing, all I can say is, "Finally!"

[DanielXY]

Ok whats the next step ?
Ah right:
"Cuba has WMD! New York could be a Mushroom cloud in 45minutes!"

Something's better than nothing when you can't have everything. Castro is far better that what came before and very likely far better than what will come after. Compared with Purto Rico, Jamaica, Haiti, and the Dominican Republic, Cuba is quite nice. But of course, no one talks about those ****ty countries because they're capitalist.

Hell, Jamaica's so poor you can't even leave the tourist areas or you'll be kidnapped, robbed, raped (if a woman) and killed. And Haiti, ****, Haiti's a basket case. There are almost as many Haitans in the U.S. as Cubans. Where's the great handwringing concern about Haiti? Unlike the claims about Cuba, there is actual documented proof of the Domincan Republic using (Hatian) slave labor on its plantations.

But you don't wat to hear all that becuase it would mess with your nice little ideology.

A hypothetical question for you all.

Castro announces Cuba will hold free elections. Everyone can vote and anyone can run. A spirited debate starts, and parties are formed. UN inspectors are invited in--the polls are passed by them, the voters can pick any candidate without threat or coercion.

How many of you would actually believe it? Or would you just pass it off as a show without real substance of freedom?

[SlowwHand]

A gift for Fidel.

Thanks Tex

What's wrong with just waiting for the old man to finally croak? Isn't that what we've been doing for 30 years now anyways?
