<< If everyone living in a Communist country is unhappy ... >> Not everyone in jail is unhappy either. So? What's the point, that you might be happy living in Cuba? If so, let me know and I will lend you an inner tube. << How do explain the tenacity with which the North Korean and North Vietnamese regular troops fought us in two wars? >> North Koreans are starving too death by the thousands each day. It is awful there. But, North Korean rulers live very well, and are very busy building statues to themselves. Are you saying that North Korea would be a fun place to live? Do you feel that, not everyone who is starving to death in North Korea is unhappy? The North Vietnamese were actually, at one time, trying to build their country based on the U.S. constitution. They were invaded by U.S. forces. Usually people that are invaded fight very hard for survival, despite their government. Case in point: The Russian troops against Hitler's forces in Russia. << However, I haven't haerd any reports out of Cuba >> Have I got a surprise for you. Cuba does not allow freedom of the press, or use of the Internet. Hmmmm!? I wonder why you are only getting government sanctioned news out of Cuba??? <g>
