Reply #26: US Cuba policy is 10 YEARS behind the curve of world opinion

[Osolomia]

Today the United Nations General Assembly voted 179-3 to condemn the USA's embargo against Cuba and demand that it be lifted.

This is the 12th year in a row that the international community has done this!

The rest of the world also vehemently condemned the embargo when the USA passed the Helms-Burton act in 1996 but Americans weren't paying any attention then either.

In 1998 the Pope visited Cuiba and condemned the embargo and pleaded with y'all to open up and still Americans chose to ignore what was being said.

That's why things are the absurd mess they are to this day. It's never going to be resolved until Americans face up to reality and deal with it.

But when even our progressive democratic undergrounders and 2004 presidential candidates are more than 10 years behind the curve of world opinion to this day then there's not much reason for optimism sad to say.
