| We should just leave them the hell alone. If we do not give them a reason to be mad at us, then they probably won't be. If they are mad at us, after we have done nothing to them, then screw them. Blow them up, make them a 51st state, whatever. Until then leave them alone. Who gives a shit what kind of government they have if it works. Castro..ok..if you disagree with him he kind of puts the smack down. However, they do haev some of the best healthcare stats in the world, amongst other things. I won't go as far as saying he is a benevolent dicator, but he is far from a saddam hussein. | ||||

| Well, we do have an interest in making sure that Cuba remains a peaceful neighboor. We don't want some radical taking over the country and start trying to import rockets from Iran to fire at us or something.. | ||||
