Didn't we always allow travel to the Soviet Union, and sell grain and wheat to the Soviet Union? If it didn't help the USSR leaders stay in power longer, why will it help Castro stay in power?

The other quandry I have is that we were willing to fight two wars in SE Asia containing communism, yet were unwilling to do the same 90 miles from our borders. Wouldn't it have made more sense to fight a hot war here to stop the spread of communism?

We did not support the Soviet Union BY giving free anything they wanted. Why should the U.S. taxpayers maintain Castro's regimen to the tune of 6 billion dollars annually? Don't try to misrepresent the true nature of the deal. Castro owes to the rest of the world tens of billion of dollars AND HE DOES NOT PAY ANYONE BACK. As matters stand now, Castro can buy all the food and medicine in the U.S. he wants, but he has to pay for it in advance. Now the American Senators and Representatives want to reward him for staying in power for so long, and are in want of maintaining a terrorist regimen whose leader just this week reaffirmed his alliance with "the Axis of Terror" offering total support to Iraq in the eventual war with the U.S. Castro is the only leader that once tried to nuke our cities and who sent his henchmen during the Vietnam War to torture our P.O.W.'s.

In the middle of the war against terrorism, American legislators are betraying their own country and supporting a terrorist state at 90 miles from our shores. SHAME ON THEM!
