[quote=Allan from Fallbrook]
Dan: As far as Cuba goes, it’s a repressive dictatorship run by a murderous Stalinist thug who is long past his day. Cuba has imprisoned thousands whose only crime was trying to speak freely against the depredations of the Castro regime. Yes, we’ve supported worse in our time, but it doesn’t change what Fidel and his ilk represent. Cuba Libres and ice cream notwithstanding, he makes for a bad example.[/quote]
Um, news flash there Alan, ever heard of Guantanamo, or the other prisons in Eastern Europe or in Iraq in which the US government has imprisoned thousands without charge for many years, and tortured quite a few of them to the point of insanity, without any charges or due process? Aside from revealing your complete ignorance in light of reality, how is this better than Cuba? This plainly ignorant statement is quite revealing of your inherent bias and assumptions that you and your ilk always have but sweep under the rug, since you obviously can’t look at the truth, but as the saying goes, if it quacks like a duck….. .
