I believe this thread is about Cuba so perhaps it would be better discussed in the other topic.

True. And they left (usually) because they were personally affected by La Revolucion.
It's really difficult to ascertain what the common view is with regards to Fidel, people are too afraid to speak up.
*I* think they resent him for not having much freedom, money, food, etc but enjoy the free housing, education and health care.

Because we all know conservatives hate dialog. Push them out or attack them before asking questions.

How are these statements helpful to civil debate? Yeah I remember a certain conservative president who went to great lengths to have dialog with certain communist leader. I think some positive things came from those meetings, mainly the end of communism in the USSR and the cold war.

Yea thats how it used to be. The USSR had 40,000 nuclear weapons and was the largest country in the world and yet all we needed was dialogue. Sadly, nowadays the new breed of Republicans are all about "do what we ask for, or we bomb, and if you do what we ask for, we might still bomb." I'm really hoping for Russia, India and China to be great superpowers in the next 50 years. It will shut America's mouth up.
Oh, come on I didn't mean this... I'm just tired of conservatives attacking, bitching, and moaning about diplomacy. Many conservatives these days are trying their hardest to make certain great words into dirty words. And I'm just sick of it.
