In my humble opinion Fidel Castro is not that bad of a guy, we could of befriended him by now and believe me, Fidel would of been Americanized by now and his little island would of been overrun by McDonalds and Wall-Marts if it weren't for those stupid-idiots whose hate-filled, anti-Castro policies run the Republican Party and their Little Havana Cuban Exiles!
Gitdog said:Hmmm yeah. The Cuban sanctions came about in 1962 when JFK (democrat)was president. Apparently because of some " cuban missle crisis"? I don't know guess it was kind of a big deal for some reason. Anyways, probably a big reason for JFK's assassination. We've had a few democrats as president since JFK, have they lifted the sanctions?
KidRocks said:And you know what? Castro is correct!
But it's not the American baseball players who are afraid, no, it's that Buffoon President Bush and most of his Republican cronies who are afraid, afraid of those crazy Nazi Miami Cuban leaders that is, whose hatred of Fidel Castro surpasses any common sense they may have at one time... had.
We all know how corrupt the leaders of the Miami Cuban exiles can be ( re-Elian Gonzalez) and how they have held such a heavy influence over most of the Republican Party for over 50 years now.

Politics aside, I'd love to see our best play their best, bet you we'd see some damn good international baseball we would! Love to see the Major Leagues get their asses whipped too.
Anyway, the hell with those Cuban Exiles, Republicans, and let's "play ball"!
It would shirly give some creedence to that farce we call the World Series!
I could see it now... USA, USA, USA versus... Viva Cuba, Viva Castro!

'We aren't afraid'
Castro says U.S. afraid to face Cuba in Classic
HAVANA (AP) -- Fidel Castro suggested the United States doesn't want to play Cuba in the World Baseball Classic, which is awaiting word on whether the U.S. government will let the island's players take part.
"We aren't afraid of anything," Castro said in a wide-ranging speech late Tuesday. "It's very difficult to compete against us in any area ... not even in baseball do they want to compete with Cuba."
Castro's comments appeared to refer to the inaugural World Classic, a 16-team tournament scheduled for March 3-20 and organized by Major League Baseball and its players' union.
The U.S. Treasury Department last month denied MLB's application for Cuba to play its scheduled first-round games in Puerto Rico, a U.S. territory. Later rounds are to be played on the U.S. mainland.
The license is required under 45-year-old American sanctions against Cuba aimed at preventing Castro's government from receiving U.S. currency.
After Cuba promised to donate any money it received to victims of Hurricane Katrina, MLB reapplied for a license a second time and is awaiting a response...
Kandahar said:Yeah, Castro is a cute little puppy dog who feeds the hungry, helps out at the orphanage, buys ice cream for his friends, and doesn't bring the world to the brink of nuclear holocaust. :doh
Cuba is one of the most repressed countries on the planet. Journalists are routinely imprisoned and dissidents disappear.

KidRocks said:Ever heard of Pinnochet? I believe he was a ruthless dictator and yet the US (Republicans) backed him didn't they?
We backed Saddam too remember (we have pictures)? Well, we didn't Reagan did.
We call Saudi Arabia our friends too.
KidRocks said:Yes, Castro does indeed feed his people, clothes them and offers them free health care too. What's wrong with that? The proof is that the Cubans are not mass rebelling and never have.
KidRocks said:Face it, it's the Republicans that are starving and denying the Cuban people medicine and decent health care with their stupid, ignorant sanctions all because Castro is a Socialist.
KidRocks said:Ever heard of Richard Nixon and Red China?

A CUBAN FREEDOM FIGHTERS ORGANIZATION
1961 - 2006
Our purpose for having a Web-Page on the Internet:
There appears to be a relentless campaign spearheaded by the tyrannical government that misappropriated the island of Cuba, interested organizations, and other foreign governments that pretends that the Castro-Communist system is about to release its grip on the Cuban people and that peace with them is at hand.
This campaign which pretends to believe that little by little the system will surrender all its power and freedom will come to our people lacks perspective and is absolutely wrong. First, it forgets the character of the tyrant -- a totalitarian subhuman incapable of any noble feelings, who has mercilessly taken away from the Cuban people all their human rights.
Secondly, great efforts are being made to conceal the fact that there is a revolution already going on inside Cuba. That this underground revolution could explode at any moment unexpectedly and that throughout the island thousands of secret groups are working day and night to bring about this moment of liberation.
Occasionally news of clandestine operations, sabotages, slowdowns, silent and not so silent protests which keep the prisons full at all times, demonstrates a movement that has only one objective: TOTAL VICTORY. History has shown us that once a people enter into a revolutionary state of mind, in pursuit of its rights, nothing will deter them from obtaining the final triumph.
To inform the world of this revolution in the making, which ALPHA 66 has been a part of since its inception; to give a voice to those Freedom Fighters who are risking their lives and to hold accountable those who are helping the tyrant, we bring our information to the Internet.
We invite all to visit our Web-Page, to work with us, to participate in the pursuit of the glorious day when Cuba's liberation will mark one of the golden pages in the history of the 20th century. All those that work with us will be proud to have had a part in this unique event of seeing the end of Communism in our America.

Touchmaster said:Ever heard about Operation Condor? and the 80000 people who were killed because of their poltical beliefs with CIA logistical support?
Touchmaster said:And Pinochet (and many others like him) would never have made it into power without CIA help, so your points are invalid. Surely you can just acknowledge this was a tragic mistake, after all its not you who authorised it..?
Touchmaster said:I would have said that the Somalian, Bosnian and Kosovo adventures had some good intentions, and I certainly applaud the removal of Hussein, although not the brutal indifference to civilian casualties that have taken place in his removal. The US's late interference in WWII certainly helped defeat incredibly powerful despots, (although the Russians did most of the work against the Nazis to be fair)
Touchmaster said:aka murderous fascist terrorists.
Touchmaster said:I am not American.

Trajan Octavian Titus said:Good, I am, and Allende was a Communist and I'm glad he's dead, Che Guevara too.
Pinochet is out of power and the Chilean people are free and Democracy is the status quo for Chile now, he served his purpose to rid Chile of Communism but now his purpose is at an end.
I say Chavez needs to be next he is obvious the newest tyrant to spring forth in the Southern hemisphere and I don't understand why the American people are tip toeing around that fact, I say kill the fuc/k.
