1. Polls Show Many Americans are Simply Dumber Than Bush

in a differant world, Cuba would be more than happy to help americans...
By Paul Craig Roberts

01/29/06 "ICH" -- -- Two recent polls, a Los Angeles Times/Bloomberg poll and a New York Times/CBS News poll, indicate why Bush is getting away with impeachable offenses. Half of the US population is incapable of acquiring, processing and understanding information.

Much of the problem is the media itself, which serves as a disinformation agency for the Bush administration. Fox "News" and right-wing talk radio are the worst, but with propagandistic outlets setting the standard for truth and patriotism, all of the media is affected to some degree.

Despite the media's failure, about half the population has managed to discern that the US invasion of Iraq has not made them safer and that the Bush administration's assault on civil liberties is not a necessary component of the war on terror. The problem, thus, lies with the absence of due diligence on the part of the other half of the population.

2. Cuba has made many offers to help America(ns).

"In a different world, Cuba would be more than happy to help americans..."

Huh? Cuba IS offering..

Cuba has offered (and is still offering) free medical ed to US students who will serve in poor areas of the US. Bush has cut that off.

Cuba offered urgently needed emergency medical aid to Katrina victims. Bush didn't even respond.

Cuba recently offered free eye surgery (via Cuba's Operation Miracle) to poor Americans - free of charge, including an offer to fly them to Cuba. Bush's OFAC won't let them go.




The world is different than America.
Almost the entire UN membership condemns the US blockade & extra territorial sanctions on Cuba - year after year.

Americans sit back and mewl 'Castro this and Castro that'.

3. I know Mika

It certainly hasn't been from Cuba's end, my point was a different Amerika, no neocans and racist crackers, no insane bible belt.
If the US was a rational nation,none of this would of happened, there would never have been an embargo. There would never have been the Cuban Missile Crisis. I blame the US's foreign and domestic policy for a good portion of the ills on this planet.

4. Cuba also offered the use of its airspace and airports immediately

following 9/11, as well as any useful medical equipment and personel, all rejected.

World famous Cuban jazz musician, Chucho Valdez, and his band, as well as other Cuban musicians were in Los Angeles to attend the Latin Grammies at the time, which was cancelled, and they all stayed here long enough to donate blood before returning home.
