26. Now that Americans have accepted torture and concentration camps
and believe in American Exceptionalism and that the US is under a special Divine Dispensation, there is no need to believe in such secular concepts such as due process and Constitutional government.

What the US has done to Cuba since 1902 has been nothing but a never-ending crime against humanity!

Many Democrats talk today about not allowing the US to have permanent bases in Iraq, and to redeploy US troops "over the horizon", yet that is precisely what the US did to Cuba when it forced the Cubans to grant basing rights at Guantanamo, and put in the Cuban Constitution a clause allowing the US to intervene militarily at any time it wished to (Platt Amendment). You must excuse me for laughing at the irony of the double standard!

When it comes to the US and Cuba, it is the US that comes with bloody hands!
