| U.S. Humanitarian Group Arrives in Cuba - Group wants regime change in America - Not in Cuba |
| 2004-07-11 |
| Members of an American humanitarian aid group arrived in Cuba Saturday in defiance of U.S. law and wearing T-shirts calling for "regime change" in the United States. If I were a cuban stuck living under Castro, and would beat the living s**t out anybody who would show up to try to keep the as***le in power...specially somebody wearing such stupid t-shirt. About 120 volunteers with Pastors for Peace flew in from Tampico, Mexico, where they had loaded a caravan of 12 vehicles filled with goods including medicine, computers and bicycles onto boats bound for Cuba — all in violation of a long-running U.S. trade embargo. "We know in our hearts and in our heads ... that the blockade is immoral, is illegal, is illogical and is unjust," said the Rev. Lucius Walker, a Baptist minister from New Jersey who founded Pastors for Peace. The volunteers, who ranged in age from 10 to 91, came in from the United States and six other countries. They wore T-shirts reading "Regime Change in the US — Not in Cuba." |

| #4 The "blockade" was over in the 1960's but some aholes still are living there. Take a look around there ain't any "workers paradises left" "Some peoples needs a good beating" to quote an employee of a freind of mine. He was old, black, could not read or write and was way wise. He worked in my friends familys paint store and was their most valued employee. These dorks brought that quote to mind. |

| #3 I agree with both Ed and Sarge, if you leave the US to give Aid and Comfort to the enemy you should not expect to return. At the very least the US should uphold the law for a change. If its against the law to travel to Cuba there must be a punishment. Let them suffer the punishment. I also don't undersstand this "blockade is immoral and illegal". There is no blockade, the US has a refusal to trade with Cuba. Who said a nation must trade with everyone? That's the talk of a simpleton. |

| #1 The US needs something like the Athenian concept to exile. Deny entry permission for venal or misguided utopians who violate US law such as this. Let them live in Cuba or Saddam's Iraq for a few years so they can be educated on the true nature of such regimes. |
