Actually, this started out with the US as the rogue nation. Seems you have the fascination with Castro. But, since we apparently agree that we are the rogue country in the world,, let's talk Cuba...

What is it exactly that is so repugnant and dangerous about Cuba, but not China? China is a commie country with an atrocious human rights record and nuclear missiles, yet we give them favorite trade status. They can hit us with missiles quicker than Cuba can fly a plane over to Fla to bomb it. China's human rights record ain't all that much to brag about. They have, in the past, conquered more countries than Cuba, even if Tibet is only one country. There are probably more refugees in the world from China than from Cuba. China even spies on us.

So what is it that makes China OK, and Cuba such a threat?

Surely it can't be money. It can't be just because they buy our bonds and send us Walmart junk and have a market with over 1 bil people.. It can't be that we conduct normal business with them just cuz of money, can it? Is the American cowgirl spreading her legs for China? Have we sold out principles for money? Why, that would make us a whore nation; there has to be deeper reasons, eh?
