[Cincinatus' Wife]

Face it - Castro's a Tyrant** Gone also, by the way, is any persuasive argument that the United Nations has relevance in the fight for governmental decency in this world. Its Human Rights Commission winked at Castro's latest depravity, saying only that a U.N. representative should visit the island to see what's up. Stay out, Cuba replied.

So what's to be done? Simply extending the U.S. embargo from here to eternity is unlikely to achieve much, but neither is it consonant with the lessons of history that rewarding criminals stops crime. At the least, voices must rise in fierce condemnation, and from all over the civilized world. The dissidents must be encouraged, their tormentors excoriated. The free world must not let go of its outrage, but beat the drum regularly, turning to other sanctions if effective, humane ones can be found, while insistently seeking the release of all Castro's political prisoners and the demise of his government by thuggery.***

Fidel Castro - Cuba

[cars for sale]

Harkin could care less for the imprisoned in Cuba
what a pantload of a liar he is

[boomop1]

He should have taken Jesse (jackass jerkson that is) with him.

[Artem55]

Ah, Dungheapius Harkinus shows his disingenuous concern for the downtrodden. Don't you feel all warm and fuzzy?

[Semper Paratus]

He'll have as much luck as Carter did last year.

After Castro has 3 dissidents executed, Harkin goes to Cuba to demand that Castro turn over a new leaf and free a few of the survivors. Whadda guy.

Their bodies are still warm in their graves and Harkin is already trying to grant Castro favors such as an end to our embargo on Cuba.

Harkin in Cuba, the same week Bill and Hillary meeting with the President of the Dominican Republic, and the same week Galloway went to his home in Portugal.

Somebody needs to store this for future terrorist attacks or boatloads of folks around election time.

Harkin: "Fidel, please free the dissidents."
Fidel: "No."
Harkin: "Well, I tried. Can I have a cigar now?"
