I found it interesting when Bush recently accounced increasing the restrictions placed on Cuba, especially at a time when, seemingly, the rest of the country is in favour of removing the embargo (as per the recent vote in congress.)

I also find it very humorous, and hypocritical, that when 3 people were executed in Cuba last year it was very big news. How many hundreds of people are executed in the US every year? Of course someone will try to point out “the US kills people for other reasons.” So? A person is still dead.

Maybe if Bush were to visit Cuba, as I have, he would come to realize that it isn’t a country full of “evil-doers” as he seems to think. However, as mentioned in the article from the previous post, he had made up his mind and nothing can change that. Ah, the blissfulness of ignorance.
