Well, Castro did get a hostile power to place nuclear weapons onto his country's soil and when the US got a little upset about that, he requested that the nuclear weapons be used against the US in a preemptive strike. So requesting the death of up to 100 million Americans could make him less of a friend.

Chavez has explicitly stated that the US and Canada (because f--k Canada, serves them right for sharing a landmass with the US) to be his enemy and he has frequently tried to ally himself with nations and terrorist groups (like FARC) that are hostile towards the US.

As for Iran, there was that whole hostage crisis thing a while back. Oh, and the Iranian government repeatedly makes statements declaring that the US is an enemy of Iran.

Incredible, absolutely incredible.
You're ok with the Iranian regime because it has done nothing personally against you? So the killing and maiming of thousands of American soldiers is ok because it's not personally against you.

So what does Achmadinajad have to do, knock on your door, enter your house, and pull on your weenie?

You're living proof that Michael Moore need not to go to Iran to seek America-haters. He can find them right here!

They were justified because we were helping Iraq kill thousands of Iranian soldiers.

If he can find them here so easily, why is he spending millions to find them elsewhere?

Whatever.

Again, your country gave weapons to their enemies to kill them before they ever gave a weapon to anyone to kill us. But of course, no one wants to talk about our role in the Iraq-Iran War. Too much truth to be found.

And again, no one wants to talk about our role in the overthrow of their democratically elected government and our installation of the Shah who murdered thousands of Iranians. Nah...let's not discuss that.

Castro was scared of an American invasion....and for good reason. Shouldn't he have the right to arm his nation the best way he knows how? I'm not saying that i want Cuba to have nukes (i don't), but i can damn sure understand why Castro wanted them. If i'm in his shoes, i would've done the same thing.

Chavez is harmless in respect to us. I wouldn't pay him any mind. It's not worth my time.

The Iranian Hostage Crisis was a bad thing obviously, but so was our overthrow of their democratically elected government some 25+ years before that. Installing a murderous Shah was a bad thing too. Did you really expect the Iranians to kiss our feet after that?

That begs the question: do you guys EVER thing this country should face some consequences for our behaviour in respect to other nations? Are we free to foment misadventure all over the world with no blowback? Folks are supposed to just kiss our asses because we're Americans?
