So repressive is OK as long as we get oil and cheap electronics?
My point was that foreign policy that is wise treats different countries in different ways.
The embargo against Cuba was lifted by the European continent years ago. Has that action resulted in a better quality of life for the average Cuban? No. The Castro family and the ruling class HAS been enriched.
In the case of China, it seems palpable that while the government still is a strong arm one, the economic conditions for the consumer there are better. I might note, too, that the Christian church is growing by double digit percentage points in Asia....I think that, too, lends itself to a stronger work ethic and wealth pursuit.
Cuba has done nothing substantial to show it is serious about pursuing freedom for the population.
Stand by for more aid and support going OUT of this country instead of taking care of our own.
Who is going to stop those bastards?
