If we could get away with it, we would squash Castro like the cockroach that he is, then steal all his Cuban Cigars!

Default Rights and wrongs

I was always told two wrongs don't make a right.
The fact that lots of countrys do others wrong.
Does not make it right ever.
I just heard about the case of these five men.
If we in the west are going to preach to the rest of
the world about freedoms,we must at least be transparant.
If these five men did something wrong lets prove it fairly.

Oh and by the way,dont get the idea that I don't
like the US,it has it's faults but it still has it's good points.

Hi Nic,
What were your experiances.
The ones I met and talked to about it seemed to be
quite surportive of Castro.
The Cubans I met were very well educated about the ways of the
world,and blamed the states for most of their problems.
If fact dispite how poor some of them were,they seemed to
enjoy life and were very wellcoming.
I had a lot of fun talking music with a few youngsters.
I went to a festival in Valadero over two days and had a great time.
I have been to a lot of places around the world and Cuba I found
to be one of the friendlest.
Havana was a little differant with all the beggers.
I was with locals so I had no problems,but it's something that would
put me of visting Havana without local people with me.

About 3 years ago. It was a trip booked out of Canada to Havana.

It was nice that I had some US$. Over all the trip was ok, don't think I'd do it again.

Cuba should be opened up to USA visitors. It would help the poor people there alot. However, no big deal, Castro will croak soon enough.

in the 80's i worked with a Cuban refugee named Agustin. he described to me the event which convinced him that his future lay elsewhere.

snack time had arrived at the school where he worked, and the teacher told the small children to bow their heads and pray to God for milk. they did, and no milk appeared. again, the teacher told the children to pray "really hard this time" to God for milk. they did, and once again no milk appeared.

then the teacher told the children to pray to Castro for milk. and by golly, wouldn't you know it, a couple of people brought in some trays of milk for the thirsty kids.

so, at least in the state-sponsored schools, children learned early on that God was worthless, and Castro provided.

i'm certainly not condoning the Battista regime, but it doesn't surprise me in the least the cult of personality that surrounds the benevolent dictator Fidel Castro.

the U.S. will not try to assasinate Castro as per the agreement that ended the Cuban missile crisis, but they're certainly not going to make life easier without Castro making concessions.

i guess that's the price you and your unfortunate subjects pay when you bring the U.S. to the brink of thermonuclear war.

"God was worthless, and Castro provided"
Interesting statment.When I was younger I wrote to santa.
I don't belive in him any more.

The rights and wrong,of the regime could be debated for evermore.
What about these five men?
Are they guilty?
If so lets prove it and be seen to be fair.

Njah Njah Fidel Castro: "Bush couldn't debate a Cuban ninth-grader"

Shortly after US president George W. Bush praised a plan to realize a "transition to democracy" in Cuba, Fidel Castro challenged Washington to be "clear" about such plans, and criticized American capitalism.

"The US economy hangs by a thread", told the 77-year old revolutionary leader, in a 4 + hours speech addressed to economists from all around the world, in Havana.
In his speech, Castro also wondered whether those plans involve a plot to kill him. Since he took power in Cuba in 1959, the CIA has plotted to assassinate him 600 times, all unsuccessful, of course.

Castro, also made a defense of his revolution stating that Cuba, after four decades under Washington's economic blockade, "continues to offer free health care and has an infant mortality rate lower than that in the United States". "The great difference" between Cuba and the United States is that Cuba "has learned to do a lot with very little," Castro said at the Sixth International Meeting of Economists on Globalization and Development Problems.

However, Castro's attacks to the US Bush-led administration did not end there. After laundering "keen observations" made by the US economist, Daniel L. McFadden, the Cuban leader said that the United States, with a fiscal deficit of more than $520 billion, was handling its economy as a "banana republic".

Then, the attacks were straight to the White House. Making fun of George W. Bush mistakes, Castro said Bush couldn't debate a Cuban ninth-grader," as he leaned across the podium.

Fidel Castro also lashed out at what he called the foolishness of the US economic blockade, saying it has not stopped Cuba from surpassing the United States in many areas. Cuba, he said, has no illiteracy, a lower infant mortality rate than the United States, lower student-teacher ratios, and higher levels of educational achievement.

George W. Bush promised to set up a plan "to drive Cuba into democracy" early this year, as part of his campaign to obtain Cuban-exiled in Florida at the presidential race of 2004. However, neither the White House, nor the State Department made clear the details of such plans.

here's an interesting Cuba stat for you: the US Treasury Dept's Office of Foreign Assets Control has 21 agents assigned full time to enforcing the Cuba embargo. how many do they have tracking the finances of Al Qaeda and Bin Laden? 4.
