Oh, goody. Next we'll be moving in on Cuba when Fidel croaks.

According to CNN, Bushie's people have come up with a report about how the U.S. intends to ensure Cuba gets a "democracy" when Fidel bites the dust. Why can't we just leave other countries alone and let the people who actually live there decide what kind of government they want?

1. What happened to 'the right of all peoples to self-determination'?

Now do they only get the kind of government America wants them to have?

Why don't we bring democracy to Saudi Arabia? Or Jordan?

2. The plans to carve up Cuba far predate Bush.

Exiles in Miami have had their intentions set for more than 20 years.

5. Only 20?

They've had thier 'plans' in place since the people of Cuba kicked thier arses out in 1950something.

3. Rape is likely a pale word for what the U.S. and U.S. interests will...

...do to the Cuban people once Fidel dies. All in the name of Democracy, by the way.

6. The Bush Junta should just go find themselves a damn time machine

and transport themselves to 1930s Germany. I'm sure they'll like it better there. So much more FREEDOM...:sarcasm:

7. I hope Fidel remains hale & hearty for at least until January 2009.

I would hate to see Bushocracy get a toehold in Cuba, It would be like trying to remove a cancer if it got started before then.
