Some sort of accommodation needs to be made, but in many cases there is no way they could be given the land back. But the reality is that how this plays out will depend very much on how things turn out. If an American backed government is forced on Cuba, the American Cubans are liable to get more land and cash, but discover they are now hated in Cuba. If there is a calm transistion to an open democracy, it will be better in the long run. Jay

Post #263,421 by pwhysall 8/2/06 12:01:37 PM Reply	Is it? Democracy resulted in Hamas being elected. Free'n'fair and all that. Oh, you mean that OTHER democracy, where it means "elect the people the US would like you to elect".

Post #263,462 by JayMehaffey 8/2/06 3:25:29 PM Reply	No I don't When I say "open democracy" I don't mean "pro-US semidemocracy." Though that is certainly what a large percent of the US amd the current administration thinks it means. If Israel really wanted to get rid of Hamas, the best thing they could have done was give them some money and let them become as corrupt and ineffective as the PA. Jay

I ask you this, does that not also logically mean that 68% approve of the job he's not doing? Think about it. I haven't." — Stephen Colbert, at the White House Correspondent's Dinner 29Apr06

I above all liked the city because it was filled with people all a-bustle, and the clatter of hooves and carriages, and with delivery wagons and drays and peddlers and the boom and clank of freight trains. And when those black clouds came sailing in from the west, pouring thunderstorms upon us so that you couldn't hear the cries or curses of humankind, I liked that best of all. Chicago could stand up to the worst God had to offer. I understood why it was built--a place for trade, of course, with railroads and ships and so on, but mostly to give all of us a magnitude of defiance that is not provided by one house on the plains. And the plains is where those storms come from." -- E.L. Doctorow Never apply a Star Trek solution to a Babylon 5 problem. I am not merely a "consumer" or a "taxpayer".
