Our approach is doing pretty damn well, no thanks to the bed-wetting leftists who would flush it all away because they want to conveniently visit the charming oppressed folks who sell food and other services at a discount, made desperate by a murdering dictator. The same folks who go on Thai sex tours, no doubt. That's right, Major. All of us who want to visit Cuba someday soon are the same ones who want to go on Thai sex tours. Gimme a break.

Wrong. 180 degrees wrong. What caused the fall of the USSR was a couple of
things. One being their belief that we were in the final stages of developing "StarWars" and their inability to funnel enough money into military projects to counter act this supposed ability AND the fact that the people of the USSR, Poland, and Germany were seeing more about the 'Western" world and seeing the truth about how we live and the things we enjoyed under freedom. This was done through the free interaction of the people and not by any foolish boycott. If you really want a free Cuba then let the people that live there know what true freedom can bring. Right now the only ones that know what freedom is are those that live in So Florida and NYC and the powerful ones in those groups do not want Cuba to really go back to being free, they want it to go back to the way it was with the man of their choice in charge that gives them special privileges like they had under Batista.

That kind of foolish, king-of-the-playground thinking is why this freak of nature has been in power for over 40 years, is working on his political skills with his 9th U.S. president!!! Actually, it is what won the Cold War after 50 years. power and principle can have patience. He has won! What more does he need? He has not won. He is a tin-pot dictator with no world power. He has some adherent leftists in the developed world who would rather pretend his political murder patterns did not exist (call him an "agrarian reformer"?) But he knows that his tyranny will end when he does, and he will have no more legacy than did Pol Pot, who is not particularly adored by his former citizens (even the few million he didn't murder.) unlike Baby Doc who has to live in relative seclusion in France Love those supporters of dictator murderers. At least he is not murdering honest citizens like Castro does to this day. What matters now is the Cuban people - how will they be best served? What are you willing to sacrifice for the freedom of the next generation? If Cubans got a few more Pesos from soft-brained tourists, their oppression might be sustained by a few extra years, while their diet had a bit more fat. Is freedom that unimportant to you? Did no one in your family ever fight or sacrifice for freedom? How do we get rid of Castro? Offer no economic sustenance until he is dead. Waiting for him to die hasn't worked Be patient! , starving his people hasn't worked Blame him! , clandestine assassination attempts haven't worked, a bungled invasion hasn't worked Blame Democrat administrations whose heart wasn't in it! How about a totally different solution? What do you have to offer? You decide. Patience (knowing one is right and people deserve to be free) and invasion.

Hey, I'm a pretty strong Republican but you need to understand more about
Vietnam and history in general if you want to spout off. Truman a Democrat did provide moral and political support to France when they reclaimed Vietnam after WWII, Ike a Rep provided not only political support but monetary support for this foolish landgrab by the French. Ike also provided 'advisors'. This was stepped up by Kennedy and eventually the advisors became involved in combat until it was full blown by Johnson. Blame the loss on Johnson and his ilk and even on France for starting it, but don't blame all Democrats. I know quite a few that died in that God-forsaken country. History lesson for you bub, Lincoln was a Republican that got us involved in the costliness war in our history. Wilson tried to avoid war so much that it hurt us more than going in and kicking ass immediately like most Republicans wanted us to. Roosevelt knew exactly what he was doing and yes IMHO he put us in the position to be attacked and hurt deeply by Japan intentionally so he could have an excuse to attack Germany. He should have ignored the polls and joined in with Britain back in '39 but an election was coming up and most would not support a war with Germany at that time. Quite frankly Major, blind faith in any political party is just foolish at best. While I personally believe that the Republicans fit my ideas better than the Democratic platform not all Reps are good and not all Dems are bad. Open your eyes and think for yourself. End of political rant and lets try to keep the politicians out of cruising as much as possible. Jim "Major" wrote in message ...

Excuse me? You mean those folks that speak Spanish and wave Cuban flags and
identify themselves as "Cuban" and not American? Jim "Major" wrote in message ... Tom & Linda wrote: Only in Cuba's case there is a HUGELY POWERFUL Cuban voting block in South Florida that stays vehemently opposed to Fidel. Don't you hate it when free American speak their mind?

This really doesn't address the issue, but is low level name-calling. Who called anyone a name (besides you, in another post)? Unsurprising from the left. Painting with a broad brush again, I see, by practicing aggressive ignorance. There's simply no discussion with someone like you. The expression about having a battle of wits with an unarmed person comes to mind.
