LAST WEEK, in a heartfelt address, President Bush spoke out in support of a nation suffering under tyranny. He declared that its people are entitled to liberty, democracy, and dignity, and he condemned the dictator ''who jails and tortures and exiles his political opponents.'' He called for free elections and free speech. And he promised that the United States would continue to press this odious regime to ''finally begin respecting the human rights of its people.''

Castro has been good for the average Cuban over the last forty years

If you call living on bread and water in a Gulag leading a "good" life, then you don't share my values.

And then what happens next? Are we going to open the border to all the Cubans too, GW?

Not to hijack the thread but think 'Mexican trucks' and 'muslims' and 'Stinger missles'.

"Bush wants Democracy and Liberty for Cuba"

My friends, democracy is not a good thing. That is why our founding fathers never refer to us as a "Democracy" in the U.S. Constitution. "Democracy" has been infused into our daily life by establishment politicians.

Bush is an establishment politician and uses the term "democracy" freely in describing what he wants for other nations that are communist. "Democracy" is mob rule or governing by special interests or mob interests. Throughout history, like Communism all "democracies" fall.

You see, "democracy"=Socialism and Socialism eventually leads to Communism.
