Gentlemen - can we please keep this thread on the topic if CUBA and their support of terrorsim?
Yes, I read it. It doesn't give too many details or provide any evidence that the claims made in the article, are valid. It reminds me of all the bullshit propaganda leading up to the Iraq war. Simply talking shit about another country, then expecting people to believe it at face value, doesn't cut it, with me. I want proof! A big problem in this country are dumbass American's, like those tea baggers, who don't take the time to be well informed on the issues, and consequently, do not question government policy when it comes to something as important as going to war.
The government lied about Iraq, their lying to us now about Afghanistan and this stuff about Cuba may be lies as well. It also could be true. Or a combination of both. At this point, I can't say one way or the other. I need to do a little research first before drawing any conclusions whether Cuba is some big god-damn threat. Right now, we're the only country going around attacking sovereign nations, in violation of international law. That bothers me a lot more than Cuba. So I'm certainly not going to entertain the topic of this thread as a valid one, unless someone pony's up some specific evidence, instead of that op-ed in the link.
If you're asking for proof, how can you possibly know if the assertions are "idiotic"?
And if you already know, why are you asking me to provide proof?
I don't want to get too far off topic, but since you did ask, I feel compelled to give you an answer.
Have you ever heard of the School of the America's?
Do you know what that school teaches?
Here's a hint: It ain't sex-ed!
CIA and School of The Americas
Or how about Iran/Contra?
Do you know what that was all about?
Hint: It wasn't about Pan-American basketball.
Or how about the CIA helping to overthrow the democratically elected government of Iran in 1953 to install the Shah, a tyrannical dictator?
I'll stop there. The only thing "idiotic", is you trying to re-write history.
Typical right-wing jingoism. A completely non-sensical statement.
Tell that to the over 1 million dead, or 4.5 million refugee's living in tents in the middle of the desert. Not to mention it is against the law to attack a country that did not attack you first.
You make intolerant statements like that and expect people to believe you really care enough about others to sacrifice over 4000 countryman, 1 trillion tax payer dollars and our reputation around the world just to free a population 9000 miles away?
Now let's get back to Cuba...
