It only shows our boneheaded policy towards Cuba. It could have been our oil companies drilling of Cuba’s coast if we had smoothed relations with them. We can trade with China, accept the communist regime there, but little Cuba? Nah! God forbid we normalise relations with Cuba because Castro is such a threat. He may convert Americas capitalist youth into flaming communists. We scream we can change China via trade, yet we refuse to apply that logic when it comes to Cuba.

As long as we’re not drinking our milk shake, they might as well.

This further underscores the smugness, incompetence, and disdain, with which the congress and the senate have approach our national dilemma with oil acquisition.

It’s a facial on the citizens of this great country, of the most vile nature…..

They force us to watch as others draw from the plentiful reserves in the gulf of Mexico.

Seditious…. I would argue that while we are in peril of an impending war in the middle-east, it is just shy of treasonous!

The international community is very close to resume diplomatic relations with Cuba. It will be interesting to see how it plays out. (Cuba's Reforms)

China has changed via trade. < Note the link, Marxist Liar. Cuba isn't interested.

You mean they'd grow up to be just like you, Ellinas? What's the lie about tax-free bonds again?

One question that appears to have been missed in this discussion is whether Cuba either needs or wants US involvement in exploiting her oil (or any other) resources. Why would she if one takes into account the hypocrisy and lies which underpin US (and British) involvement in Iraq and her oil resources ? Why expose herself to attempts of economic dominance that successive US governments and its crony relationships with oil companies have employed elsewhere in the world ? Cuba has stood resolutely and maintained her sovereignty and dignity against incessant US aggression for decades. She has the absolute right to decide the manner in which her own resources are used for the benefit of her own people. USA you blew the opportunity nearly 50 years ago. Get with it, there’s a new order: China buys your government paper to fund more consumption by the USA of products made in China – where’s the dignity in that ? The leaders of your financial institutions have been shown to be self-serving and self-aggrandising without humility (how many have fallen on their own swords to acknowledge the hardship and burden they are responsible for loading onto the shoulders of US tax payers ?). The USA becomes increasingly dependent on foreign sources of investment to sustain (a deficit driven economy): where is the self-respect in that ? The USA now needs the rest of the world more than the rest of the world needs the USA.

- lying Marxist piece of shit, Ellinas

I smoked a couple of their cigars, visited occasionally over the years, and left them to wallow in their Communism.

What have you done?

Lying your Marxist ass off and supporting Obama doesn’t count, Marxist.
