Cuba Follies
*[news quote]: "Bush tightens measures against Cuba
Oct. 10 (UPI) -- President Bush Friday announced several initiatives aimed at ending the 44-year-old dictatorship of Fidel Castro and help Cuba achieve democracy."*
Boy: "Dad, how come George W. Bush never said a word about Fidel Castro and Cuba until just recently?"
Father: "Well, some people have accused Bush's Jewish handlers and advisors of engaging in foreign policy solely to benefit Israel, e.g. America's war on Iraq." [1]
Boy: "So?"
Father: "So by getting tough with Cuba, the White House is trying to send a message to the public that U.S. foreign policy does not serve only Jewish interests." [2]
Boy: "That's clever."
Yes, clever.
[1] Bush's racially Jewish cabal: Feith, Wolfowitz, Perle, Bolten, Abrams, Zekheim, Haass, Frum, Grossman, Schlesinger, et al.
[2] "I am aware how almost impossible it is in this country to carry out a foreign policy not approved by the Jews. Marshall and Forrestal learned that. I am going to try to have one." -- former U.S. Secretary of State John Foster Dulles, quoted in the book Warriors at Suez: Eisenhower takes America into the Middle East by Donald Neff, Linden Press/Simon & Schuster, New York, 1981, p. 433.

Bush is cracking down on Cuba, as if this will do anything other than increase the hardship the US is already responsible for by decades of sanctions. I'm not at all defending Communism or Castro, but the US is merely heaping misery on misery. This will do nothing to end Castro's rule.

The hypocrisy in our dealings with Cuba versus China are telling. Because the Chinese are a source of cheap slave labor for our internationalist business men, great efforts are made to downplay any conflicts of interest or downright enmity we have with the Chicoms. But Cuba is treated differently. I suppose it is just the Republicans courting the votes of the anti-Castro Cuban refugees.

Cuba is actually one country I would not mind seeing the six hundred pound gorilla crushing. It will not happen, though. We have to be on high alert for when the Yahoodis randomly bomb the next Arab country.

Why would you be happy if the US crushes Cuba? Why would you be happy when the US crushes anyone? Cuba didn't do anything to the USA, the only thing they do is not follow uncle sam's orders...

IMO Castro's Cuba's main function has been as a diversion. Looks like it still is. Castro was installed with US assistance, as was China's communist government. Well, as are all communist governments.
