pivotal red-state fed up with losing their kids

And most historians also agree that Vietnam would have gone to the communist no matter what the U.S. did.

I think communism is in some cases very good, it has certainly helped Cuba(unlike U.S. sanctions against them.) Just another example that the elite in this country care less about people of the world and more about running things their way.

I also have no clue as to how a reference of puppet governments illegitimizes an article. I would actually say the reverse is more accurate.

Let's all celebrate more dead commies at the price of accomplishing nothing.

Helped Cuba???? Are you in- ing-sane!

It was much worse before Castro.

I agree that the state of things in Cuba was very bad before Castro, due largely in part to the US intervensions in Cuba, but to say it was much worse is just plain ludicrous.

to borrow a line from Team America World Police...

"Before Team America showed up, it was a happy place. They had flowery meadows, and rainbow skies, and there were rivers of chocolate where the children frolicked and played with gumdrop smiles."

The situation in Cuba will come to an end soon. Next Pres. will lift the embargo, especially if a democrat (& not beholden to Cuban-American voters). Castro might be out of power by then, but I doubt it.

The interesting implication is how Chavez in Venezuela will react to opening of commerce between Cuba & US.

I think that making steps toward normalized realtions with Cuba helps everybody (especially MLB).

If you go by body counts and victories in battle, then the British won the American Revolutionary War.

The British didn't give up because they'd been militarily outflanked. They stopped because the British subjects tired of spending so much money on the war, had moral qualms about killing people they identified with, and just weren't that interested in fighting so hard to hold onto a faraway land when they didn't see any benefit to it. Members of Parliament were getting nervous about their re-election chances.

Wow. Just wow.

You're sure plugged into the left-wing Wurlitzer, aren't you?

Why do you think Democrats are less beholden to Cuban-Americans than Republicans? They have considerable and disproportionate voting power in the U.S., so both parties will continue to pander to them. The matter of U.S/Cuba relations will continue to be decided by the Cuban American minority.

I agree. It is a disgrace what these inhumane and immoral sanctions are doing to baseball. God forgive us all.
