Rangel to talk to Koffi Annan tonight!!! Castro is next

[Renew Deal]

They are saying the Haiti business is against international law. Maxine Waters and others are saying this is illegal. Maxinne waters Castro NEXT

[slinkerwink]

1. PLEASE let this get into the media! Please let there be a UN investigation

[coloradodem2005]

3. I hope that happens too.

God help us.

[cprise]

2. Why would Castro be next?

The misery in Haiti is a capitalist failure. Cuba offers a stark contrast to letting the World Bank and the U.S. military alternately run your country.

[Lone_Wolf]

11. Correct... Cuba is a good example to other countries.

It scares the U.S. that other nations might look to Cuba as a model to follow. It shows that Socialism methods can be faster and more effective than capitalist methods. For example, despite our embargo Cuba has been able to give 100% of its citizens healthcare that is as good as the healthcare many of us receive in the U.S.

14. Ummm

Have you been to Cuba?? Gee they have good heath care but no food & no much else why do you think so many Cubans try and get here ant way possible?y

[Lone_Wolf]

15. Gee... do you think our EMBARGO has anything to do with that?

The U.S. will not allow trade with Cuba and discourages other nations from doing the same.

[Mika]

17. Ummm, I have been to Cuba, and its nothing like your description

Cubans are not starving. 100% literacy etc. NOTHING like Haiti.

4. This incident must have international independent inquiry.

UN must speak out for democracy and rule of law in Haiti.

[Renew Deal]

6. Forget Haiti, what about us?

The UN needs to do something. Anything. Do you think this group of criminals is willing to pull out of the UN or throw the UN out of the US? I think that anything is possible now.

[pacifictiger]

7. the trouble is

the US military industrial complex power trumps the UN power and there is not much concrete action anyone can do about it.

[JaySherman]

10. Agreed. But we need something, anything.

A U.N. resolution condemning this action, even it is only empty words, would still be better than nothing. Of course, the U.S. would veto it, and as Chomsky says, "A U.S. veto is a veto from history." :mad: :grr:

[GreenArrow]

5. Why would Castro be next? Here's why--OIL

Note last paragraph of following article:

http://havanajournal.com/business_comments/P1089_0_4_0 /

"The president of Halliburton Co.'s energy services unit, John Gibson, said two weeks ago in an address to employees the future of oil exploration lay in developing countries, and in those three competitors had a jump start over U.S companies."

[dax]

8. Leaders of the paras were trained by US....

Watch how quickly the violence stops... all they have to do is quit paying them, everything calms down and Bush gets to claim a bloodless victory as how powerful US is now that the world knows we shoot first and ask questions later...maybe he will fly over there to shake the new fascist butcher's hand., Aristide came from a popular movement and was co-opted by the IMF to start selling off public services and redistribute wealth from the poor to the rich, just like we do here and he was despised only because he went along with it, against his interests for sure but how else do you deal with Crime families, I mean, governments.

[JaySherman]

9. The cat is out of the bag now

They are making no attempt to disguise their criminality anymore. Not even Daddy and St. Ronnie flouted international law like this. It's time for the U.N. to step in.

[enough]

12. Step into what?

We're seeing it now in full flower -- the world of might makes right, where the only law is power. Who can fight them, who can control them?

[RC]

16. How to stop us, US?

Shut off the flow of oil. Commandeer the tankers.

[abbyhoffman]

13. Good

Kennedy should have done that 41 years ago
