bullshit. if americans did business with cuba alot of cubans would be much better off financially.
I guess you support Sheehan since she is spending dollars for the trickle down effect you are all on about! Jlew and Sheehan have common ground, who woulda known.
HAVANA, Cuba (AP) -- American "peace mom" Cindy Sheehan called for the closure of the U.S. military prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, as she and other activists arrived in Cuba on Saturday to draw attention to the nearly 400 terror suspects held at the remote site.
Sheehan is among 12 human rights and anti-war activists who will travel across this Caribbean island next week, arriving at the main gate of the Guantanamo base in eastern Cuba on Thursday -- five years after the first prisoners were flown in.
"Anyone who knows me knows that I am not afraid of anything," Sheehan said when asked about the possibility of U.S. sanctions for traveling to communist-run Cuba, which remains under an American trade embargo.
"What is more important is the inhumanity that my government is perpetrating at Guantanamo," she told reporters.
Sheehan, 49, of Vacaville, California, became an anti-war activist known as the "peace mom" after losing her 24-year-old son, Casey, in Iraq in April 2004.
She drew international attention after camping outside President Bush's Texas ranch to protest the war in Iraq, and has been arrested numerous times for trespassing.
Sheehan arrived in Havana early Saturday evening with trip organizer Medea Benjamin of the California nonprofit groups Global Exchange and CODEPINK: Women for Peace.
Benjamin said group members believed they were exempt from U.S. travel restrictions on Cuba because they were traveling as professional human rights activists who will attend a daylong international conference in the Cuban city of Guantanamo on Wednesday, the eve of their protest.
The U.S. military still holds about 395 men on suspicion of links to al Qaeda or the Taliban, including about 85 who have been cleared to be released or transferred to other countries.
well, in india us companies privatize water so it's illegal to even collect rain water...that's just for starters...then there's how comapnies like coke have severely polluted the water system there and this is a country where some ppl wash their clothes in the river...

you are wasting my time but since you require a response from me i will amuse you.
I can make up bullshit too. none of this is fact. spare me the 911research.net quote ok
it's just a bribe to keep things running the way they are supposed to ie; us companies profit. we give over a billion in 'aid' to colombia, yet their military has a loooot of rape cases against it....hmmm, raping while holding us weapons...but it's only saddam's rape's we need worry about, right? the aid is payment to keep letting us oil companies make the profits while the ppl whose land it is gets treated like shit, like peasants....
you really dont care about people. you are only interested in making the US look bad in whatever they do.
why do you live here? you obviously are not proud to call yourself an american.

LMAO at you. You sure do think you are better than everyone on this board. Arrogance doesnt equal worth. As for wasting your valuable time -- (1) I do not believe anyone on here has forced you to respond to any comments
(2) You sure do spend a ton of time on here posting at a record rate.

i'm sure none of these links will be enough for you, you'll claim their all biased or making up lies like you just did to me...on the 2nd link on the 2nd page is something from Stanford College on it...on hte 3rd page something from the University of Texas, something else from University of Michigan...
they even tried to do it in Bolivia
the fact is nothing will ever be good enough for you and it's obvious you never look into things...amazing what you can find just by googling 'india privatize water'
so they should not care that they water is owned by US companies <when they did this in Bolivia prices rose 500%> b/c their government receives aid??? that makes no sense at all
if you need me to pick you up some tissues i'd be happy to, but not from wal-mart

You know what I find interesting. All of this renewed interest in Cuba and our altruistic mission to bring democracy to these people just happens to coincide with the discovery of a large oil field in the North Cuban Basin. I'm sure that the discovery of this oil field has nothing to do with our foreign policy in relation to Cuba.

I got the Cuba reference. She is actually going to Gitmo to protest. So while I see the Cuba connection, she's not going down there with a wad of cash. She's going down there and will probably camp outside Gitmo protesting until she's deported - of even better, locked up. I'm pretty sure she doesn't have the buying power to affect any trickle-down anywhere.

The Sheehan article was tongue-in-cheek. I should have put a little scrunchy faced guy on there but I thought it was obvious.
The Face says "Hello" with this pm. I take it he's banned again?
This is the message:
"Your still an aresehold aren't ya. Have ya been to Cuba. Tons of Euro trash over there legally exploiting the people there right now. Many British. Have you nothing to do but bash America? Perhaps if you left your bitter old Island in the Atlantic once in a while you would come to understand the world better than the garbage you spew on this site."
I thought i'd post his comment because even though he's banned I don't want to see him miss out on all the fun.
Edit: Can somone please explain to me what an 'arsehold' is?

Yes of course.
