Castro Dead

[Archon_Wing]

I have no problems with not-so-nice responses. I realize I step on some toes but am mature enough to deal with all responses.
I just used the 'never have been to a country' to point at a in my opinion wrong way of thinking.

The bias thing: if I am living in a right wing country and all I see is right wing news (like in Holland, Italy or now the UK) I can be sure that the media are biased. Just as in the cold war most Russians hated Americans and most Americans hated the Russians.......turns out you are both normal people!!!! This is the annoying thing I want to point at.
And Cuba is able to withstand some criticism from some lurkers but not an air strike by some moron in the white house.


eppie

ps in Cuba you can at least drink a beer on the street.:);)

Surely the United States has done a lot of wrong, but why does it make the fact that Cuba is being run by a dictatorship any better? If people criticize Bush as well as Castro, then what is the problem? And it's obvious the disdain goes for the government, not the people.

So it's ok to reject all sources from a certain country just because their political views are not as "left-wing" is yours? Which countries are left wing enough? Or is only Socialist propaganda acceptable? Oh wait, judging by your wonderful post here, I guess so:

You know it and I know it, if there was only a small thing that Cuba could do to threaten the US it would already have been invaded 5 times over.
The missile crisis is anyway more a problem between the USSR and the US or not?

The only thing is here that the US rather has right wing extremist governments that torture socialists in the Caribbean and south America. Castro and Chavez' only mistake is that they don't want to cooperate with the US under their rules. They don't present the slightest form of danger.
To bring back the interesting point about Miami. I think US minded Cubans in Miami are accountable for many more murders of US citizens than Castro's Cubans.

Clearly the U.S. is no innocent player, as it helped create many dictatorships in the area, but your description of poor socialists being tortured is simply funny (oh nos they are so innocent too-- but wait, it takes two to tango) and demonstrates your own bias.

To claim objectivity is to claim that your crap does not smell while everyone else's does.

Edit.... some mistakes
