RSSCOHA will be issuing a press release tomorrow morning chastising President Obama for not taking a decisive step to veer away from Washington’s benighted near half-a-century trade embargo against Cuba. By refusing to take advantage of the opportunity to reject a morally bankrupt policy based on hypocrisy, double standards, and inconsistencies, in favor of constructive engagement, President Obama turned his back on the possibility of a U.S. policy of new beginning when it came to Latin America. When it comes to the hemisphere Mr. Obama is sadly not the U.S. president bringing “change” that millions of North and South Americans had hoped for. Rather, he has failed to recognize his own professed foreign policy objective of reaching out to old foes like the Castro brothers, by exhibiting the courage and politicized wisdom necessary to call for the termination of the embargo.
cuba is bad but maybe more excuse because its an entrenched problem
honduras is worse…
because its something thats happened and could have been stopped now
Yes, dear David Brown, I do complain the coup in Honduras too.
However, Cuban people are suffering from the U.S. embargo, which they correctly call a trade blockade, and terrorist attacks since nearly the victory of their revolution against the Batista regime having cost 20.000 dead people.
Nevertheless, they try to go upright and to continue in creating a just society, in disobedience to the U.S. That’s why they seem have been punished from the U.S. point of view. And so the Cuban Five seem to be punished for having tried to save lives not only those of their compatriots, but also those of U.S. citizens wanting to fly to Cuba.
Well, inform yourself, please,s. http://www.freethefive.org .
