And your point is? Because I can see some good done in a country that was a slimy corrupt pesthole of the US's making before the revolution that means I cannot speak my mind? Aren't you trying to do the same as the Castro regime does - suppress free speech?
Remember that the Baptista regime that was in power before the revolution was far worse than the current government. It was in the pocket of American corporations and US based organized crime. When I see good I'll speak out, when I see stupidity I shall also speak out. The current policy of the US government towards Cuba is stupid, hypicritical and counter productive. If it had used the same approach as it did with the Soviets, the Castro regime would have suffered the same fate. The current policies play right into the hands of the Castro government. In one sense these policies make the US the best ally that the Castro dictatorship can have - an outside enemy that everything can be blamed on. larry On 1/6/06, Tim Heald <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > This is ok with you, at the expense of freedom of speech, at the expense of > liberty? > > Jesus.
