Are you drunk or just incredibly stupid? Calling me morally relativistic, a term I'll gladly accept if that means I don't advocate unprovoked wars, doesn't justify invasion.
You and the intellectually bereft, morally corrupt adminstration that you support whole heartedly so love taking this bullshit macho swaggering approach to war that it makes me and the rest of the world sick. This cavalier approach to war, along with the decision over which of our children will be forced to kill and to die, proves that you and your kind cannot be entrusted with even the slightest of control over our national affairs.
So Castro's a human rights abuser and a commie. If our standard now is that we're justifying violating the integrity of all sovreign nations with poor government, lousy economies, and poor human rights records, we mights as well get ready to take down all of the Americas south of us. Besides, Castro is hardly the worst human rights abuser in the world, making this argument absurd on its face.
Is Castro a threat to our national security? Last I checked, we were the ones that tried to invade Cuba, not the other way around. We were the ones who sought to assassinate Castro, not vice versa.* All he does is send Republicans to Florida which, however distasteful, is hardly cause for war. No serious national security argument can be made for invading Cuba.
The only reason I can see for your advocating a war of aggression agains Cuba is you just find him annoying. He's like Saddam, without the oil, the WMDs, and the invasion of his neighbors. He thumbs his nose at us, so you want to apply your party's myopic swatting-flies-with-2X4s "foreign policy."
The rest of the world doesn't understand even our embargo of Cuba. Canada, our closest ally and largest trading partner, recognizes Cuba for what is really is -- a nice place to vacation in the Carribbean shitty government and no economy outside of tourism. Then they comed home and sell us their cigars. How would they respond to an unprovoked war? How will the rest of the world respond and how will it impact their cooperation on the global war on terror (or whatever we're calling it these days).
You show appallingly bad judgment by proposing an unprovoked invasion of Cuba. Such an action would turn our country into a Rogue Nation. Forgive me for having more respect for my country than that. Must be the moral relativist in me.
*Castro gets parial credit for being suspected of JFK's assassination, but you guys never liked him anyway and have no cause to complain.
