When is the right time to change sides?

It's been done. If I were Castro, I would have built a monument at the Bay of Pigs site.

Let's be fair, that mission was doomed because it was ill supported. If they invaded this time I imagine it would be much more credible. But then I suppose Fidel would return to the Sierra Maestra.

And we ought to remember that, unlike Saddam Hussein, Fidel is well liked by most in the world community, mainly because he isn't a monster. This counts in his favour.

The war will not be over when Saddam is dead. If the coalition stay to occupy Iraq, there will be guerilla raids and suicide bombers to keep the American body bag consumption up as long they stay there, and probably beyond. And if they choose to call it a day and leave post-war Iraq alone, it may turn out an even worse place than it was before. Just imagine an ultra-religious Iraq or a total anarchy.

Oh you would just love that wishful dreamer.

I'd support invading CUba so long as it would stop student t**ts wearing Cuba or Havana T-shirts as if it's cool..

The reality is the the majority of Cubans love Fidel

So that's the reason for the kangaroo court crackdown on independent journalists.

What about Panama Jack t-shirts?

Ask people who've been there. Read travel writers who frequently express surprise.

In a country which is being embargoed and threatened by a large neighbour, security concerns entail abnormal measures. My guess is that if the embargo ended Cuba would undergo significant change in these areas. What people forget is that Castro never started out as a communist. He was originally concerned only with freeing Cuba from foreign (read US) domination and had taken steps to do so before Che Guevara converted him to Marxism. Anti-colonialism is still the dominant trait in his character.

Actually, in a country which is being threatened by a motley crew of Arab terrorists, security concerns entail abnormal measures (including hiding the breasts of public statuary). And it isn't as if one needs to censor the US media, they do a good job of it themselves.

If you like, but you'll probably kick me out because I think there is a role for markets (STRICTLY POLICED!) in a flourishing socialist state. This might make me a rather unorthdox communist, but CG himself said that markets are "a weapon to increase production".

What do I do - take a blood oath or just change insert "communist" into my profile display?

Let's wait a few weeks and see who's a wishful dreamer. And I don't wish for it. I'm against this war, remember?

Just insert Communist Party of Apolyton (you can also just put CPA as Azael has done) into your location. You'll notice that we're a heterodox group of commies, so your heretical beliefs will be welcome.

[Agathon]

All done. Proud to serve the cause.

[Az]

I guess they let everyone in now.

[Agathon]

Te abrazo con todo fervor revolucionario.

[Drake Tungsten]

I see you've removed that badge of dishonour from your location field, Azazel...
