i guess i shouldn't still be supprised by how stupid george can be but his plan to further isolate cuba got me.
A good soul in America that wants to be a tourist goes to a foreign-owned resort, pays the hotel bill, that money goes to the government. The government, in turn, pays the workers a pittance in worthless pesos and keeps the hard currency to prop up the dictator and his cronies.
we can't go to cuba because the workers being exploited? wow george, i never knew you were such a supported of workers rights. keep talking like this and you might be able to get cuban AND union votes.
Third, our government will establish a commission for the assistance to a free Cuba to plan for the happy day when Castro's regime is no more and democracy comes to the island.
This commission will be co-chaired by the secretary of state, Colin Powell, and the secretary of housing and urban development, Mel Martinez.
They will draw upon experts within our government to plan for Cuba's transition from Stalinist rule to a free and open society, to identify ways to hasten the arrival of that day.
i can hope is the george administration can do a better job of planning for the cubans future than they've done for the iraqis.
