One of the things I think people are forgetting here is that Castro is a known supporter of terrorism. He believes in the communist revolution and has a history of trying to support leftist rebel groups in other countries through weapons and finance and logistics support. Because he no longer has they resources, he is not longer able to prop up and support these groups in their bid to overthrow there governments. Any influx of capital to Cuba would allow castro the oppurtunity to again attempt the start the revolution in Latin America. He directly attempts to undermine and destablize his neighbors governments. The state department has held this positions under both liberals, conservatives and moderate presidents. Carter didn't exactley disagree when he was president, and Reagan saw it first hand. Even Clinton knew it. We must continue the embargo.

Castro would not have the resources to export terror as he did when the Rooskies gave him all he needed.

If we can deal with China (which provides far more dangerous weapons to equally dangerous people) we can deal with this pimple on God's ass.

He is no threat and the sooner people start interacting with the Cubean people the quicker reconciliation will take place when he finally dies.

This embargo makes us look worse than a bully, it makes us look like a stupid bully.

If it is proven, show it to the people, have the Senate declare war, send in the army, take the SOB out and shoot him dead. Kill anyone who physically tries to stop that from happening. Kill anyone who is proven to be collaborating with him. Show all executions on public TV. Bring the military home when the job is done. Simple, eh?

I completely believe that the military ought to be used to protect the country. Evidently, I believe it more than the supposed 'hawks' in DC who play wishy-washy games. Kill your enemies and go home. Don't screw around. Don't negotiate. Make sure the military is strong enough and motivated enough to do the job. Make sure your intelligence agencies are able to prove to reasonable people that those you are attacking are guilty. No hidden evidence. No secret tapes. Proof. And if other countries don't like it, too bad.

There seem to be 3 distinct groups of people in this embargo debate: 1) The idiot left who love or feel sorry for the scumbag Castro and want to end the embargo for that reason; 2) Conservative Republicans who (rightly) despise the scumbag Castro and want to keep the embargo for that reason; and 3) Libertarians (like me) who (rightly) despise the scumbag Castro and want to end the embargo for that reason. Your thoughts?
