Lol...people say that, but I don't believe it. There weren't a bunch of mass suicides in Cuba after socialism took hold. And I'm sure more than a few Cubans said that they'd rather choose death too. I doubt that even ONE person chose it.

Of course nobody chose it. The thugs who run the place are happy to do it for them.

Anyway, I have been to Cuba. There is nothing just or glamorous about that system. It's just another Third World pit run by some goon who struts around in a uniform. Another Latin American thugocracy with a different nomenclature.

None the less, as stated previously, I agree with reestablishing ties with them.

I fully expect Obama to give up Guantanamo Bay. In fact, I am surprised he hasent done so yet.

Ok. Its an unglamorous Third World pit run by a uniformed goon and a Latin American thugocracy.

We've already established that.

He does travel with a large bottle of lubricating gel for his personal enjoyment, so I think we know he will do whatever is wrong for America.

I am glad you do not take leave of your senses as so many do when discussing Cuba.

Why would I? I've got nothing at stake in Cuba regardless of its condition or who's running it.
