So today, the Castro family, which has oppressed the people of Cuba for 55 years in a misbegotten relationship with the Soviet Union (Decd 1917-1991) have been given a message that the previous 10 U.S. presidents refused to send--namely, you wore us out. So, on the advice (presumably) of Danny Glover, Samuel L. Jackson, and Michael Moore, among others, President Obama waved the white flag across the Straits of Florida. But as I asked a little earlier, what problem does this fix? The Castro brothers have shown no change of heart. They continue to oppress their people. They continue to deprive them of what they need to live. They continue to make prosperity, freedom of speech, and economic opportunity impossible for anyone but themselves. So they let some U.S. political prisoners go. They had no business holding them anyway. Thats not a peace gesture. Its the act of someone who doesnt want to get pounded for misbehaving. Its a very powerful message: If you just hang on, get our idiot celebrities to love you (still a mystery why that is...do you not see the sick poverty?), and do absolutely everything you can to retain power for yourself, just wait for the weakest-link-of-a-leader to come along, and your patience and tenacity will be rewarded. So listen carefully Vladimir Putin, Red China, Iran, North Korea, Taliban, ISIS, Al Qaida, Palestinian terrorists, and all other manner of filthy jackals who suck the blood of the common man in order to have a dictatorship over many to benefit the very few: be patient. Use our media to your benefit. Pressure us back in the form of the *tsks* and head-shaking at our juvenile sanctions, our bossy demands that human rights be afforded to all people, and make utterly hollow and unverifiable promises that you will never again be naughty. And you will eventually win. Mr. President, you just made sure that the little guy in Cuba stays that way. Congratulations.
