Here is a portion... Surprisingly, he did show an understanding of the importance of the libertarian philosophy to America. "John, your way of thinking actually was great for this country. I mean it; it helped to found the country. It helped build us into one of the greatest nations, perhaps the greatest nation, that the earth has ever seen. Limited government, pull yourself up by your bootstraps, every man for himself, forward movement, pioneer spirit. That's why a lot of people in these other countries really admire us, because there's this American get up and go." After acknowledging that limited government helped make America great, Moore went on to say, "But I don't think that what you believe is what's going to allow us to survive." He means that if government does not assure people health care and food, our society will disintegrate.

The people of Cuba were supposed to cause a revolt against Fidel's regime - to date, it has suppressed the advancements of its people by providing menial economic benefits. Fidel has done well to control the anti-government movement. The sequence to his death is yet to be determined. Perhaps the US government will terminate the embargo in hopes to establish a friendlier realtionship and threaten the current relationship they have with Chavez. By the way (to the previous arguments): communism cannot exist because it is an utopian concept whereby a national government does not exist.

Dzzy Can't say that I have read (or maybe I should say retained knowledge) concerning why there was an embargo and travel restriction to start with other than the famed "Cuban Missile Crisis". I did a little google and from then to now it would appear to be a pissing contest between the US and Castro. I did not remember for example that Cuba was a US territory won by the US victory in the Spanish-American war with Spain. The Cubans were directing more and more sugar and tobacco imports away from Spain to the US. The US granted Cuba independence in 1902, things went sour. My reading indicated that although the US granted independence, Cuba saw the US as meddling in thier political affairs. After a couple years under Castro's control, the US started reducing sugar and tobacco exports to the US trying to exert the political influence. The Soviet Union instead picked up the slack on the exports each time the US embargos were toughened until the Cuban Missile Crisis. Sometime after that Kennedy placed by "executive order" the complete embargo (after ordering a supply of cuban cigars for his future use) with travel restrictions to prevent US money from being spent in Cuba or citizens obtaining gifts. I did not know that these travel restrictions by "executive order" had to be renewed every 6 months. Carter did not renew the executive order, travel and trade eased a bit until Ronald Reagan renewed the order in 1982 leaving it where it is now. So is there "now" a valid reason to continue? Makes one wonder, as the effect of the embargo apparantly did not harm Cuba due to the Soviet Union picking up the slack for their exports and importation of crude oil.

User Details are only visible to members.	WTF Scotty Are we in English class here with as many typos, mispellings and gramatical errors as everyone including yourself make? Kinda of dodging the point of any discussion to get sidelined on such mistakes. Don't you think? I think it's pretty pathetic that someone call someone on one of those kind of errors and then mispell the same word twice and mispelled the same way instead of listening to what someone is saying or trying to say. You got some fresh blood in the political discussions and you can't even discuss the issue or what is said. You must get side tracked on errors that everyone makes. I personally think it's kind of a fresh idea here that someone as young as this young man is even interested in what's going on in the world. Do I need to spell check or is it ok for an "old" man to make spelling error or gramatical error for that matter.
