Why do liberals glorify cuba?  Their helthcare and quality of life sucks.  Why do cubans jump on rafts risking their lives to make it to the US  if Cuba is so great?  Public Health care will bankrupt this country... thank you Obama "nobel peace priz winner".

[Hugo Chavez]

Why do cubans jump on rafts risking their lives to make it to the US  if Cuba is so great?

...because Cuba has been impoverished by US embargo for decades, maybe?

WTF??? Honest to God "The Luke" how do seriously come up with your thought process?

If they are such a great nation then they shouldnt be dependant on one country.  Fidel and Che planned their country on having zero interaction with the enemy (the us) so you argument is invalid.

Cuba beats the US for life expectancy and educational standards.

I think they'd do much better if the embargo was lifted.

...if you could no longer trade dollars for China's manufacturing surplus, America would be impoverished pretty quickly too.

Think before you post.

Are you insinuating China is responsible for our (US) prosperity in the same way you're insinuating that we're responsible for Cuba's?   

[Eyeball Chambers]

I'm curious as to why 30000 Cubans attempted to poor into this hell hole (the United States) in the 1990's, when their own country is such a paradise?

i can see Cuba form my house.......



.....and I sure couldn't give lss of a rat's ass about it

...the penny drops.

America has the world reserve currency and as such it is incumbent upon America to continuously run a balance of trade deficit (that's not my opinion, it is an economic fact... if you don't believe me, you can look up the work of Dr Michael Hudson who has explained this in detail many, many times, or maybe you could read his book "Super Imperialism": http://www.amazon.com/Super-Imperialism-Origin-Fundamentals-Dominanc/dp/0745319890 ...or you could read it online: http://michael-hudson.com/books/superimperialism.pdf ).

Island economies, such as Cuba, are dependant upon exports for trade... but Cuba has been cut-off from 300m customers by America's communist-phobic reactionary foreign policy.

Again, think before you post.

The Luke

How can I lay this out for you...  Let's look at Cuba as a small business, let's say my business (the US) holds a large account with this business (Cuba).  If this small business (Cuba) does something I don't like, (or any reason at all for that matter) I can always take my business elsewhere.  

Is it my responsibility to prop up this small business, (Cuba) that may fail without my account?  Not at all, I hold no responsibility towards this independent small business.  Their future prosperity is their responsibility, and theirs alone.  If they fail the burden is on them.

Hope this helps!

[Eyeball Chambers]

Would we handle a country that does have an effect on our economic interests the way we've handled Cuba? 

No way

For the record I don't support the embargo but to say Cuba's prosperity is our responsibility it ludicrous.  Their prosperity may depend on us, but it's in no way our responsibility.

Fidel Castro lauds Nobel prize for Obama
Reuters ^ | October 10, 2009 | Jeff Franks

Posted on Saturday, October 10, 2009 10:05:30 AM by myknowledge

HAVANA (Reuters) - Former Cuban leader Fidel Castro lauded the awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize to U.S. President Barack Obama, saying on Saturday it was "a positive measure" that was more a criticism of past U.S. policies than a recognition of Obama's accomplishments.

Castro said the prize made up for the blow Obama suffered last week when the International Olympic Committee awarded the 2016 Summer Games to Rio de Janeiro after Obama had flown to Copenhagen to pitch for Chicago, his adoptive hometown.

The Nobel Committee announced on Friday that Obama had won the peace price for his "extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples."

The decision prompted surprise in many quarters and anger from Obama's conservative foes in the United States.

But Castro, who has generally written positively about Obama, was pleased at the decision by the committee.

"I don't always share the positions of that institution but I'm obligated to recognize that in this instance it was, in my judgment, a positive measure," Castro wrote in a column published in state-run media.
