Yes, its amazing how the US has made a world hero of Castro, the
dictator!


Huh? I'm sorry, you've lost me. Are you by any chance laboring
under the misconception that the United States Naval Station on the
island of Cuba is administered by the Cuban government?


Woosh!

Notice how the State Department said they're not lifting the embargo anytime

tourism, etc.etc....


Florida car collectors would gain access to all those lovely (?)
American cars from about 1948 as well as those highly prized Cuban
cigars
and Cuba would gain new taxis so American tourists can drive safely in
Cuba.

What if he (Chavez) decides to invade Colombia or Nicaragua invade San

I hope they B.Y.O.B.


Certainly American troops are already spread so thin they haven't the
manpower to invade anyone else! (And, since many of our troops in Iraq
are National Guardsmen, we haven't much in the way of troops for
"emergency response" here at home, either.)

You didn't expect him to feature at the next disco party, claiming his
next 20 years in administration, did you?


US President George W Bush said ......

"And we're going to help. The United States will help the people of
Cuba realise the blessings of liberty."

.......does Cuba have any oil ??

From Wikipedia:

__________________________
Nickel industry
Cuba has had until recently one of the America's most productive and long
standing nickel mines.

Oil wealth
Recent oil exploration has revealed that the North Cuba Basin has
approximately 4.6 billion to 9.3 billion barrels of oil in it, which Cuba
has now started to test-drill (as of 2006).

They got a little too bold after their successes against superpowers like
Panama and Grenada. They did okay in the Gulf War because they had lots of
help, and a family run regime that needed to be bailed out. That boosted their
confidence enough to think they should invade Afghanistan and Iraq and they are
pinned down there for a while.

Do tell soon. I'm all agog with disinterest.


Could do the world of good for the USA to 'help' a southern neighbour
in its hour of need. Think call centre.
