So, with his strong showing in Iowa I think we should start discussing the Man in the Boots. I dismissed him early on as not confident enough, but it seems that he is getting there. Of the GOP he seems the most rational, but I'm sure I'm missing something. Why is Rubio awesome? Why is Rubio...

Haven't seen a thread on this yet. Here's one of the stories: US-Cuba relations: Global praise for normalisation of ties http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-latin-america-30528316 It's about time, and a good move for Obama. 50+ years of useless political theatrics coming to an end hopefully...

Castro’s Secrets: The CIA And Cuba’s Intelligence Machine, a new book by a CIA analyst Brian Latell to be released in April, reveals that Castro was aware before the JFK assassination that Oswald had visited the Cuban embassy in Mexico City and offered to kill JFK "for the [Cuban] revolution."...

O....K. Well, if we are going to have only books that tell the truth, why not start with banning books like the Bible, Sylvia Browne's books, books on faith healing, Creationism, and so on? Or perhaps just ban those American children's books about American children that do not depict the...

Two years ago, Castro jailed 75 dissidents and the EU imposed sanctions. Castro released 14 people and the EU dropped the sanctions. Once the sanctions were dropped, Castro returned to repression as usual. http://www.economist.com/displaystory.cfm?story_id=3790009 CBL

In the space of a few days beginning on 18 March 2003, the Cuban authorities arrested scores of dissidents in targeted sweeps. Some were subsequently released, but 75 of them were subjected to hasty and manifestly unfair trials in early April and quickly sentenced to long prison terms of up to...

Q: Is there a plausible explanation why Cuba is on the US list of countries that sponsor terrorism? (Missing from the list are US old buddy Saudi Arabia and new buddy Pakistan, two countries that arguably have been amongst the worst offenders over the past decade.) A: No, this is all about...

http://www.opendemocracy.net/debates/article.jsp?id=3&debateId=33&articleId=1439 Spent a week in Havana in 1988 and still remember it as one of the most fascinating places I've ever been. Though my (Mexican) Spanish is pretty good I had a difficult time understanding the clipped lisping variety...
