The bottom line is Castro is a dictator - dictators use brutal methods to retain power, but next to the brutal dictatorships that America embraces Cuba doesn''t even make the top 10. Communist China and Russia killed and imprisoned more of their citizens than Cuba has people, but we were and still are friends with them. Most mid-Eastern countries are run by brutal dictators (Saudi Arabia, Egypt) and we send them military equipment. We still have normal relations with Chavez in Venezualia. The Repub obsession with Cubs is just to mollify some aging Cubans who through their own brutality and greed gave rise to the person who replaced them. One must remember that America also propped up the Shah in Iran until the people got fed up with his greed. Most of the time America reaps what it sows. Full relations with Cuba and within a decade people will not even remember who Castro was.

But I digress, the question still stands, you Bush lovers like to cite the numbers of immigrants coming to the US, and conveniently don''''t mention the even larger numbers of Americans trying to get out...

What Americans are trying to get out of the US?
In what way are they being forced to stay?
What articles or reports support your statement that "the even larger numbers of Americans trying to get out"
I would like to investigate that statement (if true) so please provide credible sources.

Come on, all your posts show that you''''ve never thought that, and if the thought did cross your mind, you might commit suicide.

It hasn''t, but US capitalism is well on that way, and it is precisely what you want, you need a king to owe fealty to.

Come on, all your posts show that you''ve never thought that, and if the thought did cross your mind, you might commit suicide.

Wrong, I do not have PR nor am I seeking it, I move through many countries, and have no need to become a PR in any of them. Not like those who make the mistake of coming here to marry a local, then discover that it does not qualify them, or those who try to set up a fake company, only to find out that trick is well known.

But I digress, the question still stands, you Bush lovers like to cite the numbers of immigrants coming to the US, and conveniently don''t mention the even larger numbers of Americans trying to get out...

I am amazed he runs and wins but we don''t like him so we treat the Cubans and enemies. Yet the Saudi Arabia continues to be far more brutal to it''s people and they are an alley. I mean please pardoning a woman because she was raped. We are such Hippocrates aren''t we. Please it is their country and if they want it and they must maybe we should just leave it alone. I am tired of hearing the same old same old from everyone.

Story: "Ailing leader Fidel Castro said in a letter read on state television Monday that he does not intend to cling to power forever"

Sorry, he''s about 20 years late. In his case, actions speak WAAAAYYY louder than words. I''m a lib, and sympathetic to Castro and what people like him want to ''protect'' campesino''s from (i.e. the depredations of the wealthy), but he''s the worst example of what happens when you take that mission too seriously. Sorry, Castro, you overstayed your welcome by about 20 years and its long past time for your current admission. You''ve hurt the country you intended to help, and can only hope for a ''directed'' return to Cuban capitalism now. Appeal to the Europeans, most of all, who will help you in that regard much more than Americans will, because they are at least sympathetic with what you tried to accomplish.
