Democracy had a pretty long tradition in Cuba prior to Castro.
Cuba had problems b/c the mob was there, there was corruption, and gambling was legal, but Vegas had those problems too. Look at Vegas today - Havana could have been that too if it wasnt for Castro.

| Originally posted by Q5echo no, you lost an argument and your pride has told you to deny and obfuscate. |

| your tenuous grasp on history has failed to point out that we supported Castro and did little to intervene his rise to power. in fact, our first embargo in 1958 was an arms embargo so Batista wouldn't escalate conflict at our cost. we formally recognized the new Castro government you moron. until he completely screwed the people and now he treats them like caged animals. |

| Originally posted by Q5echo ...says the guy who can't defend Castro weak.your priviledges to invoke the Founding Fathers has been hereby revoked. i mean these are the same guys who rounded up an entire army to put down the whiskey rebellion, and you think they'd handle what Castro did to us in 1960 with diplomacy? nigga please |
As for armies..........
Don't forget that even the proud Romans marched on Rome.
The question is... how close is too close?

| You respond to an act of war with an equivalent defense. Are you trying to attribute to me the argument that diplomacy should be 100% used even when attacked? Are you crazy?? |

as if you know ANYTHING about the Founding Fathers

| Originally posted by CHRles Yes, we know you're a libertarian. As such, feel free to move to Switzerland anytime. It's a beautiful country. Geneva is one of my favorite cities in the world - very cultural, educated, scenic, and pleasant. Most importantly for you the Swiss are neutral. The question is what will you do with all the extra free time on your hands once you can no longer criticize the government in which you live in? |
Come to think of it, our founding fathers weren't very libertarians.
Let's see, we had numerous wars with numerous Indian tribes, we purchased Louisiana from the French, got Texas from Mexico, fought a war with Mexico, took control of the Philippines, had a civil war, and then there's the little issue of slavery. What else? Children worked in mines, chaos and lawlessness in the Wild West, the rise of the KKK. Ah, good times man, good times. Things were so much better back in the good old days...
I tell you, the days of our founding fathers were utopian. Not a care in the world, no European empires like the UK, France, Portugal, Spain, or Holland, ruling most of the world. Every country was perfect, there were no wars, the native population of Argentina didnt get completely wiped out by the white men, and....oh wait. Those things did happen, and America wasnt to blame for many of them. We just stood by and let them happen. Lovely.
Tell you what. I'm almost done building a time machine. Just gotta work out the kinks with this flux capacitor. Once I'm done I'll be happy to send you off on your merry way to 1790. We'd really like it if you could share with us your experiences of these glory days. Since no internet or electricity will be available to you, please feel free to start a journal/book depicting your libertarian life.

| then don't make ridiculously ignorant statements like this: and prop up Castro like he's some helpless victim then denegrate your own country. and illogically using the Founding Fathers to do it as if you know ANYTHING about the Founding Fathers |

When was the constitution written?
It was based on some good ideas, but like fixed religion it needs to change with the times. Religion is based on good ideas, and principles that are set out to guide mankind, and give hope. The problem is over time fixed religion has been corrupted and taken to the extreme.
This is what you're doing with the constitution, and its what religious extremists do with religion.
BTW, this country is a land of immigrants. What happens in other parts of the world effects the families of the people who migrated to America. Furthermore, America is the most generous country on the face of the planet. Don't ask for proof, b/c if you don't know as much shame on you - look it up. So when we see the money that we send not going to those in need, but rather to tyrants in power, and when we see that things are further deteriorating then we try to act upon it.
Clinton did something about the situatio9n in the Balkans, and even about little Haiti. Sadly the US can't be everywhere at the same time, but yes we're the superheroes of the world. America is the lone superpower out there today, and despite all its faults is the one that tries to make the biggest positive difference on the global stage.
Can't say the same for Iran, North Korea, or Cuba. Can you?
