Colin Powell wants to do something about Castro's reliance on prostitution.

Fidel Castro has a nasty sex problem. And he's livid at Colin Powell for exposing it to the world. "Despicable," "rude," "cynical" and "repugnant" are only a few of the words Fidel used during a recent tirade.

Ah, the blessings of liberalism and socialism.

Oh, and I notice a deafening silence from the evil NOW gang and all the liberal democrat women vermin in Congress: Boxer, Feinstein, Hillary, ad nauseum.

I don't think the judges who lifted the ban spent much time following the logical conclusion of their folly.

ECPAT is a network of organisations (mostly feminist) and individuals working together for the elimination of child prostitution, child pornography and trafficking of children for sexual purposes.

It seeks to encourage the world community to ensure that children everywhere enjoy their fundamental rights free from all forms of commercial sexual exploitation.

Oh, and I notice a deafening silence from the evil NOW gang and all the liberal democrat women vermin in Congress: Boxer, Feinstein, Hillary, ad nauseum.

Better get your facts straight before posting.

As it happens NOW and many other other feminist organizations worldwide are quite active politically in confronting and changing the trafficking in women and children issue.

Sex Trafficking:

Politics make strange bedfellows as the old saying goes, and women's rights advocates found themselves working with Rep. Chris Smith, R-N.J., to draft a strong anti-sex- trafficking bill (H.R. 3244). NOW Foundation's Twiss Butler, collaborating with international human rights activists at Equality Now, helped draft language to require better protection of women and tougher prosecution of individuals involved in trafficking.

Especially important was a broad definition of trafficking which covers all sex traffickers, whether or not their victims "consent" to being exploited. The bill requires imposition of sanctions against countries that allow or facilitate trafficking—a provision which the Clinton administration opposes.

United States Senate bill number S.600 introduced in the U.S. Senate called the "International Trafficking of Women and Children Victim Protection Act"[103] This Act and its companion House Bill HR. 1238[104] are aimed[105] at providing temporary asylum for immigrant victims and stopping federal assistance to the foreign governments that are directly involved in the international sex trafficking trade.[106] On March 11, 1999, U.S. Senator Paul Wellstone introduced in the U.S. Senate Bill S.600[107] for the purpose of condemning and combating international trafficking in women and children and protecting victims' rights. This Bill, co-sponsored by Senators Dianne Feinstein, Barbara Boxer and Patty Murray, if enacted, would begin to tackle this hideous form of slavery.

I will retract my comment if these characters denounce their beloved Castro and the liberal political system enslaving Cuba. Never going to happen.

In other words, you won't renounce you're statements that are FACTUALLY INCORRECT because, like all blind idealogues, you're not averse to lying or making stuff up out of whole cloth if it advances your agenda.

In short, you're just as bad as the people you claim to abhor. Hypocrite.
