The fastest way to topple Castro is to flood the country with cheap american goods, cheap credit and commodities and funding people 2 rungs under him with goodwill cash and no strings. Cuba may go the way of Mexico and the PRI but may also splinter. The idea of the revolution is not nescessarily bad, prolly better than Haiti and Guatamala worse than Belize and Costa Rica but the opening of American trade without strings will make a large Island 90 miles to the south a good partner in the future. Keeping the embargo when the rest of the world decries it makes a hardworking group of people bitter towards us. Sorry your relatives wont like mine, but thats ok I dont like mine either, the little fsck left in the middle of the night after cleaning my sister out and gets an ass whupping if I ever meet him BUT it cant be that bad if he prefered there better than here and he did have a green card. That was why when Elian's dad wanted to take him back I beleived him cause I have seen and met others who beleived in the revolution no matter how irrelevant it is in todays world. thanx, bill Our bureaucracy and our laws have turned the world into a clean, safe work camp.

The fastest way to topple Castro is to flood the country with cheap american goods, cheap credit and commodities and funding people 2 rungs under him with goodwill cash and no strings. Which is exactly why Castro won't let that happen. Revoking Helms-Burton doesn't change the control that Cuban government will have over everything. Keeping the embargo when the rest of the world decries it makes a hardworking group of people bitter towards us. Possibly. But lifting it wouldn't change things for them, there would just have to be another excuse. (In fact, that's a large part of the best reason FOR lifting it, then what would Castro blame the woes on?) BUT it cant be that bad if he prefered there better than here and he did have a green card. I don't know the circumstances, but all the Cubans I know who have gone to visit relatives on the Island shudder when they talk about it. Oh, and lets not forget the ones who come to the Cuban doctor in the family, and beg her to prescribe various drugs (one for chemotherapy) - because the Cuban government and its National Health Care Plan won't let their relatives have what they need (but will allow other people to send in drugs. (which requires a prescription in the US))). I dunno there Bill. Don't sound too great to me. Of course, if I could just sit on the beach all day and fish, well, maybe. Addison

Ma was telling me how tight it is but he doesnt have to be responsible for anything Unca Fidel takes care of it. Fish of the beach for protein, black market cigars for beef and other goodies. thanx, bill Our bureaucracy and our laws have turned the world into a clean, safe work camp.
