JUST STUFF

The last time the US was in Cuba it was with Mafia casinos and sugar and tobacco companies. And that was after the Spanish-American war. So what more righteousness does the US have than Cuba? US made a half-hearted failed invasion after Castro took over. Then Cuba put in Russian missiles. Then Russia took them out. (The world's closest trip to the brink of atomic war, argumentably, in 1963.) A lot of history. So, let's work on normalizing relations between US and Cuba. For the betterment of human relations and world peace for Gods' sakes. Did Cuba kill JFK? Probably not. But we will probably never know the full truth of that assassination. Time to move on.
