Did President Bush really say that Cuba needs to have free and fair elections and market reforms while standing on stage with the "President" of Malaysia, one of the most totalitairn regimes on the planet? The quote I heard was ,"certifiably free and fair elections". This from the man who was "elected" based on votes in a state where election monitoring groups have they would not monitor elections there under the current election laws?
I get it. We can have ties with China, Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and others because they don't "embarass" us by pointing out our flaws. Or is it because Ameican companies can make so mcuh money in those places? Hmmm....
Not that I support Castro. I just think that we're in bed with some people that are just as unsavory as he is. The whole thing is hypocritical.
