The herd is at it again

The usual cast of castro appeasers sees no reason why the imprisoning, torturing and murdering of citizens should stand in the way of “rapprochement” with the thugs in Havana.

I'm unable to link the article, but here are a couple of excerpts:

The Spanish news agency EFE reports that experts, former officials and some university chancellors appealed on Tuesday to U.S. President Barack Obama to end restrictions “immediately” on academic, cultural, sports and scientific exchanges with Cuba.

  The former chief of the U.S. Interests Section in Havana, Wayne Smith, director of the CIP's Cuba Program, dismissed the argument that the death of Cuban political prisoner Orlando Zapata Tamayo, who died last month after 85 days on a hunger strike, is evidence that the island has not changed and that's why it is not the time to eliminate more restrictions.

The United States, Smith said, is not "in the best position" to speak of hunger strikes, given the U.S. military's practice of force-feeding hunger strikers at the detention camp for terror suspects in Guantanamo, Cuba.

He stressed that while Zapata's death should be condemned, "it's not a reason" to maintain restrictions on travel to Cuba.

    How many more deaths does it take for the regime to see that their strategy has never worked?

  • Honey

    Which regime and which strategy are you talking about?

  • Felixthe3rd

    Who do you think I'm talking about, Honey? Who do we come here to talk about and rail against? Why, the friendly neighborhood Castro regime, of course. And all the suffering and death. That's the strategy I'm talking about.
