I think Iran realy did themselves damage. I for one hoped UK wouldn't get dragged into any US vs IRAN conflict like we did in Iraq. After what they did I think they lost any sympathy from UK. I don't think anyone wants a war but if US or Israel starts bombing Iran I don't think many people in UK will be protesting about it and I'm pretty sure our military would be ready to help.

thats nothing, there is no margin of error there, they were 1.7 miles away in a rubber boat, why were they so close? taunting them? just makes sense that the iranians were watching, the british were so close that they grazed iranian waters, and they grabbed them just smells like a bs reason, could have more credibility if it was like 5-10-15 miles away |

I am part Cuban and I live in the US. The US does not do terrorist things to Cuba and if they did Fidel would deserve it. What he does to his own people is sickening. When a Cuban steps foot on US soil, the government allows them to stay here. America has been great in taking in Cubans, I don't see any other country that does that. So stop posting shit about the US terrorizing Cuba. |

Na.. not just (wait for the cliche) .. a tree-hugging-liberal, but a full blown communist and we all know about them!! *lol* Definately an "enemy of the state" and on the "terrorist watch list" in the US as Splum "knows". Sheesh I just hate y'all and, true, I've been a fugitive from justice for over 40 years and admired my brother, Osama, all of that time :1orglaugh :thumbsup PS.. Was checking the other day... we used to get FoxNews are part of the TV channel packages, but noticed they have dumped it so can't really keep up with Spum's outlook on current affairs :winkwink: But was thinking of subscribing to AlJazeera for a more balanced outlook - where are ya Splum?? :1orglaugh |

That said, agree - there are fundamental obvious problems with the Castro regime which are not "agreeable" to many nations. But.. we can moan about almost any country - at least they don't run torture camps. |
BTW.. Interesting you may have originated from Cuba.... agree, it's not easy getting a Cuban national out of the country and secured elsewhere. Put some effort into doing just that (last year) for a ships captain - tho he was a captain and travelling around - he was "stuck" in Cuba, but managed to get visa paperwork for him elsewhere and he's now a happy boy :)

1492 Christopher Columbus lands in Cuba and claims the island for Spain. (Spain rules Cuba for the next 400 years.) 1868-78 Cuban revolutionaries fight Spanish rule in the Ten Years? War. Spain retains control but promises reforms. 1895 Cubans again revolt against Spanish rule, and a second war of independence begins. 1898 The U.S. joins Cuba in its war after the U.S. battleship Maine is blown up in Havana harbor. The U.S. and the Cuban rebels defeat Spain in the Spanish-American War (known in Cuba as the ?Spanish-Cuban American War?). Spain gives up all claims to Cuba. 1898-1902 A U.S. military government controls Cuba. 1901 Cuba adopts a constitution that includes a set of provisions called the Platt Amendment. The amendment allows the U.S. to intervene in Cuban affairs. 1902 Tomás Estrada Palma becomes the first president of the Republic of Cuba. 1903 Under a treaty with Cuba, the U.S. receives a permanent lease on Guantánamo Bay and begins to build a large naval base there. 1906 U.S. troops return to Cuba, and a government headed by American Charles E. Magoon rules Cuba until 1909. 1933 A revolutionary group led by Fulgencio Batista y Zaldívar (?Batista?) takes control of the government. 1934 The U.S. and Cuba sign a treaty that cancels the Platt Amendment. International investments in Cuba expand during the 1940s and 1950s. 1959 Fidel Castro?s forces overthrow Batista?s government, and Castro becomes the ruler of Cuba. 1961 Fidel Castro declares Cuba a Communist country. Cuban exiles sponsored by the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) invade Cuba at the Bay of Pigs and are quickly defeated by Castro?s army. 1962 U.S. begins a trade embargo: It becomes illegal for U.S. citizens to conduct business with Cuba or travel there. One of the most serious incidents of the Cold War, the Cuban missile crisis, occurs in October when the U.S. learns that the Soviet Union has secretly installed missiles in Cuba. The Soviet Union agrees to U.S. demands that it remove its missiles and dismantle the remaining missile bases. 1976 Cuba adopts a new constitution that establishes the Communist Party as the leading authority in the government and society. 1980 More than 125,000 Cubans move legally to the U.S. This event becomes known as the Mariel boat lift because the refugees leave from the Cuban port of Mariel. 1991 The Soviet Union and its Communist government are dissolved. Cuba loses its most important source of aid, and its economy suffers greatly. 1993 Cuba institutes economic reforms that allow some workers to start private businesses. 1994 After another large wave of immigration, Cuba and the U.S. reach an immigration agreement. The U.S. will admit at least 20,000 Cuban immigrants annually. In return, Cuba pledges to do more to prevent illegal departures. Suggesting kill 'em if they try to leave Cuba.. lol nawh! But U.S. is not the only country just because you don't see any other country do that (prolly cos cubans would rather go to the Biggest Land Of Opportunity like any other wetbags than any other country) otherwise Cubans take refuge in MANY other countries as well but they desire most to come to U.S. since they know they'd be given legal immigrant status much more easily than any other country which is kind of an open invitation. Said that, Fidel's obviously a nutbar but so are 100s other leaders around the globe. |

WTF is a wetbag? You better not have meant wetback. |

Terrorists... well, that's another label to keep life simple and not fluster the braincell. Think your ancestors may have been terrorists? In more recent times there has been no problem funding and aiding those engaged in terror and even training in torture techniques to spread the sphere of terror. Ask some of the families of the victims about that. |

Same with the US torturing-training in Chile and elsewhere - no good Christian leaning country would ever do that. I know Jerry Faldwell would never dream of allowing it - and I really trust him :1orglaugh Sheesh.. goddam stupid people :pimp |

Another is... the use of silly pictures. When all else fails - they will drift off once again, and find some image to post as a response. :) That is often accompanied by dribble like "let's nuke the fucking country" and, don't matter what country, but it's always a "shit country" :winkwink: Insecurity can be a terrible disease - along with an inability to communicate with any "balance" - kinda doomed :Oh crap |
