You were, for once, honest when you said, "The indebtedness of Cuba is not a deal breaker. We have worked with countries in bad situations before, especially when our goal is to help foster improvements in that country."

Six billion dollars yearly from the Soviet Union and similar amounts, after the demise of the Soviet Union, from Canada, Mexico, the European Union and 150 countries that were unwise enough to give credit to Castro did not improve Cuba's economic or political situation. Evidently, according to your own statement, you want that we American taxpayers assume the burden to keep Castro in power, a burden that bankrupted the Soviet Union with a 50 billion dollar debt in addition to the 5 billion dollars yearly gift, and Argentina that is also in dire economic crisis after Castro defaulted on his $1.2 billion dollar debt. Castro has the Midas touch in reverse.

Congrats on getting the caps key unstuck. Now isn't that better.

Please read the last two or three of my posts and tell me were I have committed taxpayer money. I can save you the trouble, I DIDN'T.

If you want to have a discussion with me, I suggest the following format. I'll give and explain my position, you read what I say, if you don't understand, ask. If you want to make up a position for me, I suggest you get a second freeper name and have at yourself.
