What the hell does Cuba have to do with it?

On the way to work this morning, NPR was talking about the last minute stuff and playing clips of highlights in the candidates' speeches this weekend. Out of Bush's mouth comes something like "...and we're going to bring that freedom to Cuba...."

What the hell?

Okay, here goes - we get attacked on 11SEP2001 and we cry and yell and watch the news and worry about people and wonder what is going to happen - are they going to find Osama?

And then Iraq comes on television from left field for no reason. I can't remember anything that happened there; it was just on TV one day.

So we go to Iraq, and people die and America is upset and it isn't justified for a lot of people. On top of that, the Bush administration and his followers tell America and the world that it's to help, or liberate, Iraq. So our attention is diverted from something horrible to something else horrible. Where's Osama?

And Bush turns his attention to Cuba? Christ, I thought we weren't going to fight this war on our land. I could probably swim there from south Florida. Why would we want to "help" Cuba when we're still sore from the sixties and we don't even trade with them?

I bet if this doesn't work, he'll just fuck an intern.
