Not commenting on the perceived misunderstanding, but I'll post a couple thoughts...
One, I disagree with the "rogueness" of the US (beyond that, the debate is semantics, methinks). Having said that, I'm not particularly fond of the current administration and I hope the next president expresses greater desire toward diplomacy and engagement internationally. Cuba embargo: I agree. It's stupid and unncessary. It constricts our ability to expand economic connectivity to Cubans (in addition to the restrictions within Cuba that are imposed by the socialist regime) at no strategic gain. I hope the next administration phases out the embargo that, obviously, has not been effective. - G ----- Original Message ----- From: "Razi Shaban" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "b." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <full-disclosure@lists.grok.org.uk> Sent: Thursday, March 27, 2008 12:57 PM Subject: Re: [Full-disclosure] Free Iraq I'm sorry, but I think you misunderstood part of my post. What I meant was that the USA is a rogue nation, just like other so-called "rogue nations," and is causing the UN to lose its effectiveness. I don't doubt that what the USA has done to Cuba is pointless, ineffective, and strategically wrong. -- Razi On 3/27/08, b. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Sorry for the Junk mail ( not related 2 security ) > But > this made me laugh a lot > rogue/clean nations > and USA as a respectfull ONU member > Cuba blocus is condemned for 14 years, each years, by the general > assembly @ ONU, > On the ONU thema, please read *Hans-Christof von Sponeck book > "*/A different war : The UN sanctions regime in Irak" > /And be a little more subtle/ > / > > > Razi Shaban a écrit : > > > Touche. > > > > Now a question.
