trying to start a Nuclear war with the United States.

These Castro chucklheads have undermined and harassed us all over the globe for the last 50 years, fomenting Marxist revolution in S. America, havens for drug smuggling, etc. The latest is a brand new spate of bomber flights from Russia.

No, they had all the time in the world to make nice, while the weather was good.

F--k em.

sound like the kind of guy that blames the dog and not the owner. The people didn't start anything, the Cuban government did. The suppressed people need the help, not the dictatorial government. If we can rebuild Iraq and Afghanistan, countries we invaded, we can throw the people of Cuba a line.

...but given the owners there, what makes you think any of it would actually go to the people?

Man are you ever whacked in the head. Precisely who tried to start a nuclear war with the US? The Cubans? Pull your head out of your arse and breathe some oxygen for a change. Those bowel gasses you've been sucking up are doing you no good. F--k you moron.

that this isn't very humane, and with the intelligence of the present administration(???)(sorry, I had to get that in) surely they can figure out how to get the help directly to the people.

...because if we want to see what totalitarian gov'ts do with aid, just look to Myanmar for guidance...

Its the people who kept him and Raul there. Good people rise up against totalitarian regimes and throw them out on their butts. Most must have agreed with him or they would have done something about it. You walk the walk not just talk the talk. I say we tell Castro to let all the people who want to leave go and we'll help those people. The others that want to stay can stick it out with their commie bro.

As a Cuban disaster escapee, all I can add is that while I pity those that are not going to get aid, any US aid will never reach them as the Fidals and their brothers will not allow it. All aid would go the the gov only. GOD BLESS the USA...
