Al, you have your head up your ass as usual.

The only reason the Cubans are suffering is because of an economic embargo
that prevents Cuba from having a normal economy. Why do you believe
Castro should step down because the US does not like him? This is not
rhetorical. I want an answer since you seem to think you're such a
geopolitical genius.

Oh, fuck, are you for real!? Will you not agree that the United States
trained and funded death squads in many South and central American
countries? I want an answer.

I would sooner have Bush step down so that our economy can get back on
track and make life better for Americans, with a side effect being that
creatures like you can crawl back into the smelly little holes from
whence you came. This administration is ensuring that no American will be
safe outside our borders for a long time to come, let alone inside our own
borders! Tell me why you disagree so I can rip your argument to shreds.

Actually, I blame our deteriorating educational system for allowing people
with your severely limited level of critical thinking skills to exist in
America in large, scary numbers.

Ok, then what would you say are things the US have done that are stupid?

Wow, you mean the US is *not* perfect after all? This is quite a turn
around from a couple messages ago.

And stupidity is a constant.
