Well Julio, I don't know shit about Cuba other than you have damn good spicy food, damn good cigars, and Castro seizing power hasn't done ya'll any good.
IMHO.
I'm not sure of the point of your threads, but I assume that you are suggesting that the US assumes normal relations with Cuba. If that's the case, I wholeheartedly agree.
I figure that the Castro boys have pretty much played their last card anyway. And normalized relations would not only benefit Cuba, but the United States as well.
Feel free to correct me as necessary, as I don't know shit about Cuba. Hell, I don't even know the proper slur to call "you people". That's a joke, BTW.
I don't even know enough to agree or disagree with you. In short, I'm unable to establish what premise you are advancing.
No disrespect meant as I'm only curious to your position.
But I like ya,
Chas

No, I'm trying to understand, and you're confusing me.
Are you trying to say Cubans contribute more to U.S. tax revenue than the rest of us do?
Because if you are, that is an absolute joke, my friend. You could all pack up and go home tomorrow and it would make little difference outside of Florida.

Dave, Bob, are you saying we shouldn't help them by bombing them?
I wonder if, after the Castros are dumped on the ash heap of history, true Democracy will rise in Cuba?

Like we did in Iraq, Pete?
I certainly hope so. After the Cubans themselves have deposed them.........
Then maybe we can restore true Democracy here!
First we have get our politicians and SCOTUS judges to stop sucking up to the corporatocracy. I just don't see that happening now that they can legally buy elections.......................

.......good question !
“In the world there are no perfect men or women, all humans are composed of merits and sins. Likewise there can be no perfect or infallible states or governments. The means to identify perversity and justice is the same in the individual and in the community. He is called just who possesses more merits than sins, and in the perverse the terms are inverted. The same occurs in the state and government. If in the conduct of its members merits exceed sins, justice reigns in that state or government, and if sins exceed merits, there reigns corruption.”
Rabbi Moshe ben Maimon

Oh, Chist on a pogo stick, it's you again.
Tell your people to grow some balls and depose Castro themselves.
Regards,
Dave

More than likely the Cubanos will replace communism with oligarchy once again.
Bautista was a butcher by most historical accounts. Am I wrong?

There are men who live contented through they live without decorum. Others suffer as if in agony when they see around them people living without decorum. There must be a certain amount of decorum in the world, just as there must be a certain amount of light. When there are many men without decorum, there are always others who themselves possess the decorum of many men. These are the ones who rebel with terrible strength against those who rob nations of their liberty, which is to rob men of their decorum. Embodied in those men are thousands of men, a whole people, human dignity.
Regards ..........Julio ;-)

Lets take an objective, non sentimental view. In the 60 years that the Castros have been in power: What has happened to the spanish speaking Central America and South American neighborhood?
