[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 1237320, member: 24302"] The difference is the U.S. played nice with Hussein and Bin Ladin because they had bigger regional concerns at the time in Iran and the Soviet Union. Cuba on the other hand was a Communist regime right outside our border that had supported other communist movements in Nicaragua, Angola, and elsewhere. And had tried to get missiles that would've been aimed at us. It's not just a matter of we just don't like their politics. They might not be the threat they once were, but tell that to their own people. It's a repressive regime, pure and simple, and the President needs to send a clear message that it's not acceptable what they do there. It's time they recognize, just as Russia and China have to varying degrees, that extreme state control doesn't work. That is a principle worth standing up for, no matter the century. [/QUOTE]
