Massud, Venezuela supplies the US with oil, has vast oil reserves. Cuba has the largest army in Latin America- 1 million strong. Cuban-Americans vote Republican and are right wingers. Most of the people who post don't know much about Cuba, its history or its politics.
Cuba, before Castro supplied the US and the world with sugar, produce, fish, and factory made goods. Many US companies had factories in Cuba like Hershey's, Du Pont, etc... Cuba is partnering with a US pharmaceutical firm to develop a cancer medication. produced in Cuba.
I want to see Castro go and us return to Cuba. We never came here before Castro installed communism on the island. In fact, Americans went to Cuba to work, vacation and retire. There were many synagogues in Cuba and we had a large Jewish population. Castro closed all the temples except one in Havana used for public relations window dressing.
And Iran has many intelligent Persian who want nothing to do with islam or its laws and are under the slavery of the muslim clerics who control it now. They are a force to be reckoned with now. The muslim in Iran are the ones who need to be removed and the old Persian rule re-installed.
Go to 6th Ave. and Central Park South, and you'll see 2 statues of Cuban patriots who liberated Cuba from Spain- Antonio Maceo and Jose Marti. Jose Mari was the George Washington of Cuba, an author, poet, journalist and statesman.
I want to go after the leaders and top brass of these countries but when you just post to insult a certain country or people it just looks ridiculous and immature. Do some research as I do before I post and you'll see to just dismiss these countries as banana republics is passe. I'm not defending these governments, just the fact that to insult where I come from does no good to an argument against the leadership of these backwards governments.
