by Miguel Perez
We don't hear them calling for Cuba's freedom or for at least a little less repression. We don't see them trying to meet with Cuban dissidents or making an effort to visit political prisoners. We don't see them seeking free elections. They are defenders of civil rights in the United States, but we don't hear them talking about the civil, human or voting rights of the Cuban people.

You are totally right, the democrats doesn`t seem to remember the reason for the embargo: the american properties robed by the cubans when the "revolution" wins. In fact, if you let the tourist go the island, the money will go the cuban goberment, not to the cubans (as everybody knows, but the congresists). Is very stupid to help dictatorships like the cuban (or my country`s Chavez) to go against the Unites States.
I have similar fellings about the commerce with the chinese, about the inmigration and the "minorities" rights, but they are another matter.
Yours
