Reply #57: US has declared war! - Cuba has every right to defend itself

[Mika]

President George W. Bush announced on October 10 before a gathering of anti-Castro Cuban-American constituents at a ceremony in the White House's Rose Garden that the U.S. administration was planning to bring down President Fidel Castro's Cuban government.

Its a (re)declaration of war! Made every year by every president for the last 45 years.

Cuba has every right to defend itself from avowed enemies seeking to overthrow their government. Even if that includes arrests and convictions of any and all agents on the payroll of the enemy government who operate within Cuba.

If there's one thing that can bring people together, to unite with their leadership (especially if the leadership has a successful and heroic track record).. it is threat of attack and destabilization by the world's largest superpower. This type of statement by Bush* Crime Inc will only help consolidate the leadership of both Castros and the current government of Cuba.


This is what both major US parties want. There is no political campaign contribution gains to be made by actually ending the standoff between the US and Cuba (which Cuba has sought to end for 45+years) and normalizing relations.

By maintaining the status quo (US threats and continuation of sanctions - and in response Cubans support their revolution and sovereignty with greater vigor), US politicians on both sides of the issue profit from their respective contributors. This is big money and it plays into every election in Florida, many congressional elections, governorships, as well as every presidential election since 1959.


Its time to put an end in this political madness - its time to normalize relations with Cuba NOW.
