Because they're gagging to bring inequality back to Cuba. Batista Mark II here we come!!!

I'm no fan of dictators and Castro is a dictator.  On the other hand, Batista's Cuba was hardly a utopia.  Also, all these bullshit comparisons to Miami are retarded.  Compare Cuba to other countries in Central America if you want to be realistic about it.

Cuba's got a pretty sweet system going on. After the fall of the soviet union and the end of foreign aid from them, cuba had almost no ability to purchase oil. (Oil has to be purchased in American dollars cash) Now cuba has developed the most advanced social agrarian system in the world. The government owns all the land as in a command economy, but the land is free to any producer who will use it to grow food. The result is an incentive to grow produce on small scales near residential areas eliminating the cost of transportation. Because the growers are allowed to sell their produce, as in a free market economy, the workers on the Co-ops have wage incentives to make a profit. The oil shortage has also brought a revolution in their effeciency. Cuba now produced 12 calories of food energy per calorie of oil energy invested. For context, America is the opposite, consuming 12 calories of oil energy per calorie of food energy.

Cuba sounds like nicer place all the time.

it was most recently lost to the british after the failure of the german/ottoman agression of WW1, something many people conveniently forget, you don't want to lose your land, don't go starting wars, and even then, it was more or less an arm of the ottoman empire, not really palestine, and it was the Jews that financed and orchestrated bringing the area into the industrial age, whereas the arab population was mostly nomadic, after both WW1 and 2 ended brits decided to let the already "large and in charge" jewish population govern it. "palestine" as it relates to modern history is a myth, in fact, yassir arafat was egyptian i think


if i remember correctly, Arafat and his PLOsers were first trying to claim Jordan as "palestinian land", then king hussein (father of current king hussein) killed 20-30000 of them and kicked em out, the ones that are still there stay pretty quiet now, seems they need to make up their mind what they want to claim before they whine much more

I just saw this thread, and wasn't paticularly please at what I saw. It seems the average intelligence of the average forum debater is lowering.

Cameron, maybe you should ask locals why almost everyone has relatives living in USA, when you get over there. Fact is, that most people work abroad to send money to their relatives living in Cuba keep the system running and people alive.

Or you can try living with 20 euros / month while staying. Because that's average salary there.

Wake up man, if you are being serious on this.

Actually, it's 200 rockets during one day that Hezbollah fired. This is the most rockets fired by them during the whole conflict. Of these rockets, reportedly one hit into a city and killed at least 1 civilian. Fuckup? Probably. However, is a barrage lasting for several hours on the same spot containing UN observers a fuckup? I wonder.. Soon after the rocket-strike from Lebanon, Israel replied with a commando-strike to Balbek starting with an airstrike killing 15 civilians in the process. This airstrike was conducted during the (partial) cease fire on airstrikes.

I'm not taking sides, but rather spotting the instigator.

Aannndd... we're almost back to the topic.

Oh really? Islam has been around for centuries and only recently we have seen a rise in the amount of terrorists and extremist. Why? Because of western involvment in their countries.

I went to Cuba last year, and despite excellent health and education standards there is real poverty there. Whether this is caused by the economic system, the US embargo or a combination of the two is open to debate, but when Cubans are free to speak openly (which they can be reluctant to do in public) there is a yearning for change and less state control of their lives. I hope that when it happens they can keep the good aspects of their current system rather than jump completely into a US style free market.

You must think logically, you cant invade a country just because it has different beliefs than you (eg Religion).

Both Islamic extremests and Israel are cowards. They both have different versions, thats all.

Oh and as for the EU thing, they wont complain (at least i think they wont) because there are too many Jewish people spread out in the world. If the EU did something to Israel, there would be protests, riots even if it goes too far...

You are anti-isemetic, you've simply blamed the islamic religion for being "the only one who give birth the terrorism". And when it comes to "their" countries I'm thinking Afghanistan, Iran and Iraq as a few good examples?
