Why does the United States, a country with 770 military bases worldwide, feel so threatened by small countries such as Cuba and Venezuela, that we must embargo, sanction or sponsor coup d’etat’s to coerce these nations into a government of our choosing? Isn’t this really about getting a ‘resource’ cheaply as possible on the open market? ...Or in Cuba’s case…about strangling a Communist country for four decades? If Communism is such an abject failure, why do we have to help it along? Does any other country support an embargo on Cuba?…besides Israel? If we really cared about the Cuban people(as some of you will proclaim), why do we continue to punish them?
