Did not the US allow nukes to be put on Israeli soil and be pointed at the rest of the world????

Touche' Repatre'

And what do you expect that world condemnation to accomplish.

Perhaps nothing, but that depende on the definition of and degree of Condemnation. But If a large enough number of nations express their disapproval, maybe (just maybe) the Administration would take note.

TO LACA: See, a lot of us would like the embargos lifted and to allow Cuba to become a full fledged member of the Community of nations. regardless of it's form of government.

Please I wopuldn't even take notice of world condemnation and you think this administration is likely to? Doniston you have been around ti understand how this works long enough. As long as Florida is as important as it is in electoral politics, and there is a concentrated Cuban community that wants the blockade left in place, it will remain in place no matter which party is in power.

You see Laca, many of us are not actually against Cuba, and want it to be part of the international community of nations. But we don't speak for the Government ----YET.

I applaud your progressive thinking. We shouldn't reward Castro for decades of anti-democratic policies.

What's "dumb" is to reward a communist regime located 60 miles from your border for 40 years of anti-American practices. THAT'S DUMB!!

Good point. I'm not in favor of our nuclear proliferation any more than that of other nations.

Long time before Cuban crisis started American nukes were already pointed to Russia on Russian Turkish borders.

Perhaps, but I'm not that convinced.

I don't think you know what you are talking about in this issue. However, may I point out that the so-called Anti-american practices just might be in retailiation of our practices towards them???

True, but irrelevent. There were ZERO and still are ZERO nukes pointed at the US in the Western Hemisphere thanks to the Monroe Doctrine and US Presidents with the balls to invoke it.

Maybe you should do a little reading on the history of Fidel Castro. US animosity towards him started after he began expropriating land owned by US businesses and courting the USSR.

" True, but irrelevant" ?????????????????????????????????????

I think your answer very much explains the essence of USA incredible arrogant and bully behavior towards the rest of the world.
So you are saying that was irrelevant when you first pointed nukes on Russians? You are saying If you first point gun at me I don’t have right to defend myself? Isn’t it typical primitive bully mentality? If Russia did not show its ability to defend itself the Moscow would be another Hiroshima. ( Study my post “Psychological profile of a bully” ).
Russian writer Dostoyevski said “ If God ( you can read morals ) doesn’t exist then everything is permitted”. You think that everything is permitted in the name of American interest: Starting illegal wars on sovereign countries, Disregarding Geneva convention, Raping war prisoners, killing innocent women and children and so on and so on, everything in the name of your primitive selfish corporate capitalist interest. You remind me on bank robber who justified his crime by saying ‘ I needed money”.

It's irreleven to the discussion on US' Cuban embargo. As for the probability of the US nuking a defenseless USSR, I say
This is interesting talk coming from someone living under Fidel Castro. Have any relatives disappear lately?
