this is ludicrous. I am an American citizen living in China as my wife is Chinese. To be honest, there is little difference between life here in Shanghai and my home in Cincinnati. Americans can travel to Vietnam, China, and other communist countries., BUT NOT CUBA? REDICULOUS! AMERICA IS A FREE COUNTRY AND HUMANS HAVE A RIGHT TO FREE TRAVEL! Up until a couple years ago, Americans could not travel to VietNam, now we can. Cuba is no threat to the USA. China may be someday in the not so distant future. The USA did not even recognize China until the late 1970's. So why can American travel to China but not Cuba? I have been to North Korea. Why? Maybe part of it was because I was not supposed to, but mostly I wanted to see the country first hand with my wife. I detest the form of govenment there. The Korean situation is the result of the USA and USSR splitting Korea after WWII. If I was Kim Kong Il, I may be doing exactly the same as he is. America needs to be free 'again.' Chinese citizens can travel to ANY nation on Earth. Even Taiwan, if you are familiar with that situation.
Poor Bobby. I pray for him. All this because he followed his passion, chess. If I was so involved in Chess, being the World Champ, I would have done the same.
NOW, if he posed a security threat to the USA, then thats different.
LET AMERICANS TRAVEL WHERE THEY WANT TO!
This has to be the dumbest thing I think I have EVER read.
How-in-the-hell do you justify keeping hundereds of thousands of people in concentration camps, even little children who are guilty of no crime other than living in the same house where a Bible was found?
I mean, what kind of blinkered psychopath goes on vacation on North freaking Korea?!
I'm sorry, but you are either the most callous SOB to hail from our fine nation, or you are just making stuff up and have NO idea what you are talking about.
For the sake of your humanity I pray it's the latter.
