The land of the flighty

[eppie]

Here are a couple of other ponderables for you; Why does Cuba have 11.5 million population, while the US has 1.5 million Cubans, and another 4-5 million choose to live outside Cuba? If Castro were so wonderful, why are people willing to risk death to escape?

Cuba: Torture of women prisoners must obviously be a web page built and supported by those drug crazed Florida ex-pats...

Oh, I guess not. I found an epitaph of the founder, Rosa Berre, wife of an ex-pat Cuban Journalist. "Berre once said: "CubaNet will exist as long as there shall remain one independent journalist in Cuba informing the world of what happens in the country." CubaNet is an organization dedicated to distributing the work of the Cuban independent journalists, to inform the world on Cuban affairs, and to foster the development of a civil society in Cuba."

O know the stories and I disagree with those acts of course. But it will not change my point of view about the situation. The US also tortures people, their own and foreign. The US pays journalists to write in the way it likes about Cuba, etc. etc.
The only reason the US sees Cuba as enemy is because they are "communists", and maybe jealousy because everybody can get medical assistance (no this has probably nothing to do with it because the people that make the decissions don"t have problems with that).

I would like to see in a discussion like this that you show why you dislike somebody. The torture-thing and press thing don't work for me in this discussion, because the country you support does the same.
I think that when we discuss if we like torture we are finished quite quickly....because we both don't......right?

I have major problems with people agreeing with torture by the US army because of national security while in the same way critizing e.g. Cuba of the same thing.

So last words from me:

-torture bad
-real freedom of press good
