In 70 years the closest thing we have had to success was Korea and that war is still going on. So, you are an isolationist, I suppose. Perhaps. I notice you are an interventionist, until we actually intervene, then you say it was wrong. OK, you tell me the civil war we should have been in. Cuba? Vietnam? Cambodia? Laos? Nicaragua? Somalia? Any of the middle eastern debacles over the last 40 years? (far to many to list, all turned out to be disasters) |

(far to many to list, all turned out to be disasters) I think American corporate interests resulted in Castro, and I think we could have turned it around there many decades ago if it weren't so convenient for our military-industrial complex here. Having an enemy, even a weak one, 90 miles away, is a good thing for the senators and representatives. |

The question was not "Castro", it was about US intervention in that civil war and the half dozen others I mentioned. If JFK was not such a warmongering asshole, we could have worked out a deal with Castro. I think we agree ALL of the middle east, north African and south Asia misadventures in the last 25 years were just that, including the cluster**** we are involved in with Syria and Iraq. |
