#1 "Cuba" and "human rights" in the same sentence is a joke.

That the UN has such members as Cuba confirms how worthless it is.

I say we tell them to take a hike (Paris is nice this time of year) and form a league of Democracies. No dictators allowed, except for target practice.

#2 Cuba complaining about Human rights abuses is like the skunk calling the polecat a stinker.

"But a loss is a loss is a loss." Is that"Nuanced"enough for"Flip-flop Kerry".I'll take a plain talkin,straight-shootin cowboy over a wishy washy,nuanced patrician any day.

I agree,Barbara.

#3 Uh, Gitmo's on the same island as Cuba. If they have a problem with it, they can try to do something about it.

#4 The US should take the same exact bill and turn it on Cuba to demand a look into the way Cuban prisons are handled and how religious prisoners are dealt with, etc. I'm sure the comparison would be enlightening.

#5 Robert, I feel certain that we would welcome the opportunity to change the regime of that little island when they attempted to remove the Marine base at Gitmo. Aside from getting humiliated by having their entire force walloped by the small number of Marines, I feel certain that Castro paid very close attention (just like Ghaddafi {Khadafi?}) to Saddam getting pulled out of that hole in the ground . . .

#6 The press was trying to spin this as the US using the same "no action." technique as we have criticized Zimbabwe and China for adopting. Richard Bouchard gives the straight scoop on what really happened.
