I wouldnt call these men mortal enemies by any means.

Yup.

And there is the other side to the coin.

Because we do police the world, we are now expected by many to do so when something goes wrong somewhere. Of course we only help when there is benefit or the powers that be can get filthy rich from it.

While I'm not a fan of the USA policing the world, I think we should help, because we can, anytime genocide is involved. We should have been in Sudan ASAP to stop the killings there, but we are letting it happen the same we did when it happened in Rwanda in 1994. In fact, we sit on out asses just about anytime there is a real problem and only throw our dick around for strategic or financial gains. Not that I can fault them for that, but don't act like world police when you only are willing to protect when you can gain from it. :2 cents:

Since the collapse of the Soviet Union Cuba is no threat to the US, so why where tougher sanctions imposed as recently as 2004 and 2006? For 15 strait years all UN nations vote in favor of an end to the embargo, only two vote against, the US and Israel. You really think freedom of speech is the reason?

What is really nauseous is to see how exiles living safely in the US keep rooting for more pain to be imposed on their poorer cousins..

I was thinking exactly the same thing when I saw Bush was criticizing Russia about the attacks.

Auburn is better, though.

See sig.

It is rare to hear a leftist who is so open about his totalitarian beliefs. Your honesty is refreshing.

Cuz it isn't ok for us to have attacked Iraq


spaz

Those Georgian tanks rolling toward Moscow musta been really frightening!

LOL

Do they have enough fuel to reach Moscow? :winkwink:

Cuz bush didn't think of it first. and that pisses him off.

Oh and they didn't try to kill his daddy.

Under 10% of our military is hispanic. That is below our civilian population. You also can't enlist in our military without a green card (unless there is a special circumstance).

Making up stuff just makes you sound ignorant.

holy fuck man.. thanks for the heads up

holy fuck man.. thanks for the heads up

it isn't '10 war ships' we're talking massive armadas with invasion capabilities

Democratically elected government in Georgia. Iraq was a dictatorship.

Very well put.

Heh.

I don't really have totalitarian beliefs - gasp (however I do commend Fidel for what he did to Cuba in regards to their literacy rate, health care and their educational system). I'm just saying that those are the rules at this time and those who break them get punished. I would LOVE for that to be changed and Cubans could openly criticize their leaders should they be inclined to do so. Everyone should have that right!!!

But rules are rules and until they are changed, each and every one of us live by some set of rules, fair or not.

I like to eat mushrooms. It's illegal damn near everywhere I go, so I don't walk around in front of people who will turn me in and eat shrooms in front of them. Cubans should be no different when talking in a bad light against their government or leader. Do that shit at home or somewhere where someone will not turn you in for saying those things. Some things are just not worth the risk. EVERY Cuban knows what is going to happen to them and probably their family should they get caught doing anything that goes against the Revolution. I just don't see why they would risk it. There are plenty of rules I break, but I'm not going to go out of my way to let the police know about them. Why would I want to do that? By me going to jail, would it really cause a change in the rules? No.

Speaking out against your government in places like Cuba or North Korea is just not a very bright idea, regardless of your beliefs. To go further, we DO have the right to speak out against our government and leaders, but I'll be damned if you're gonna catch me in front of the White House screaming "George Bush is a war criminal" all day. How long do you think it would take security, police or FBI to own my ass? Nope, just somethings are better off done in the privacy of your own home, under your bed, with the lights off.

So is that " rule " a green light for any country to invade others that are ruled by "non democratically elected" president ( dictator as you call them ) ?

If so, quite a few come to mind ....
