100. Your answer is in post #93
It's called thinking outside the box, but apparently your rigid mindset can't get around the concept.

"Swift boat tactics". "Strawman". "Straussian mentality". "Failure to understand cause/effect". Using such pejorative terms doesn't change the fact that you've been busted, despite your attempt to deflect attention.

My position has been quite clear and consistent; I don't know why it's taken you so long to comprehend it. I have no problem with other countries exercising their right for self-determination, so long as it does not threaten US interests. If that occurs, why yes I do think the US should take appropriate measures, because if left unattended it can ultimately threaten US security.

Sounds as if you're OK with Castro's government and their managed economy, because it's "home-grown". I daresay there are plenty of Cubans today that would prefer free and fair elections and a market economy, but can't express those opinions because of the threat of imprisonment.

Yeah, that's a great way to show respect for the will of the people. But it's "home-grown", so that must be better.

Right.

Just wait and see how Cuba is transformed after Fidel and Raul are off the stage.
