No, you don't. You remember your senile President inaccurately claiming that as a justification for sending American military into Granada and taking it over.cosmic said:I remember Cuba sending its military into Granada to try and take it over.
"The communists"? Who are you talking about?cosmic said:Then there were more Cuban troops sent to Angola to help the communists take control.
If you are talking about the Cuban military aid in the late 1980s, that was in support of the existing government of Angola, not someone trying to take over. It was threatened by South African backed insurgents and terrorists. Were you in favor of South African backed government for Angola? It was capitalist, of course - like the viciously racist apartheid regime of South Africa that was supporting it. It's an open question whether the crony capitalism or the ugly racism was the bigger attraction for US support of these South African military ventures, but your fellow US conservatives's support of them was the main thing keeping them going. So take a bow.
Do you still believe that crap from thirty year old Republican campaign propaganda? Fool you once, ok, but where's your self respect?cosmic said:the Cubans worked for much less because they were being subsidized by the American government for years.
They didn't have homes and lands. They had Batista, and life in the gutter run by the mob. Fidel was a Godsend, a deliverer from evil. That's why the whole ten million of them didn't flee, or even one million - we got Batista's allies and henchmen, the thugs and corrupt scum and compromised aristocracy of a third world organized crime run sugar republic. The capitalists. Miami's been run by the mob ever since, and the heirs of the compromised elites have been whining about their stolen land the whole time.cosmic said:If the Cubans didn't like Fidel why didn't they just overthrow him? There were over 10 million Cubans living there when he took power away from Batista so instead of standing up and fighting for their homes and lands they just were allowed to relocate in America.
It's done. The land is stolen. The US Cubans have exactly as much claim on it as the Cherokee have on the State of Tennessee.
