mc - sorry i did not check the board lately
The difference between Cubans coming here and wanting the u.s. to do something about cuba and all of us going to canada and wanting them to do something is that cubans do not have a vote or any rights in their own country we do. We can and often do take to the street and the voting booth to get what the majority of us want. Cubans take to the streets to protest and they get shoot. You do that a few times while the world turns its back and you get the idea that it may not be a good Idea.
Castro won the people of cuba over to communisms with promises of freedom and change . A land of plenty were all would be equal and have jobs and free education. ( I think I heard that at the dem. debate last week ) All castro did was to throw out a dictator and replace it with another one, him. The cuban people will be better off with a freely elected goverment like yours.
As far as cubans wanting castro in charge. I truley doubt it. In a communist country it does not take a very large population of belivers to rule the lives of millions. Death and fear can always be used to control a unarmed population. Hitler, stallian, The china's and casrto are all supports of gun control. The ever increasing rotatione of hollywood elites that visit cuba in support of a dictaor like castro is just appalling to me.
If the president can get more votes and free the oppressed people of cuba at the same time , GREAT, but just becouse you may get votes for doing something good does not mean that you should not do it. Hell getting more votes is how elected officals know they are doing a good job. Besides It will cost him more votes in other parts of the country then it will gain him in florida.
A demacrate backed out of a revolt of the cubain people at the bay of pigs and it is about time we swipe that dishoner from our record. (yes I know it was orginized but the cia,but thats what there for ).
Any how the the fishing in cuba has to be good. bone fish of flys anyone?
