Reply #22: So now Cuba, Venezuela and Bolivia are FOES of the US?

[mikehiggins]

Victims seems more accurate. The US has mandated boycotts against Cuba since I was a kid and Ike managed to miss the chance to slide Castro into our camp. Was Castro actually a "dirty red commie" or was he the guy that kicked Batista and the mafia out of control of the country?

As to Venezuala, where we tried to oust Chavez through a surrogate coup, or Bolivia where we seem hell bent on trampling all over their soveriegnity (sic), are they actually our "foes" or just people who want to be treated with the same respect we give Europe, CHina or India?

This is a great country, but boy do we love to live in a world of denial.
