Pretty ironic this post coming from a person who lives in a country with over 2200 nuclear warheads huh ??, what's the going ratio for that?? 11 nukes per country ??
Yes I'm cuban and I live still in Cuba. That decision to put nuclear warheads in our country was very wrong, and so is for anyone to use them. Don't be such in a hurry to blame other people for their mistakes when your country has been in every single known war in this world for the last 40 years.
Up to the year 2005 Cuba's bandwith and internet connections were supplied by a US fiber cable. In 2006 they cut that connection leading to the more expensive ( about 3 times more ) and slower satellite link for our country. Google up a map of the Caribbean with the layouts of all neighboring fiber cable connections, and see if Cuba is crossed by any one of those. Did you know about the embargo the US government has on the Cuban people ??( they think the pressure relies on the Cuban government, but it's our people who are suffering those consecuences ). Did you know about the Helms Burton Law?? or the Torricelli Law?? or how they prohibit us from acquiring us equipment or any type of products in foreign countries thus leading to more expensive transport arrengements?? I don't recall the "famous" New York Times talking about it, or eveng refering to the cause of the problems. It's pretty easy to speak without any knowledge, firstly if you don't know the problem in it's roots, it's causes, and secondly if you haven't lived any of those problems. How many of the people speaking here have ever been to Cuba?? I didn't see many posts saying "I've been to Cuba and..... "
But despite of all those publicitary, and media commentaries that I've seen expressed throughout a group of replies to the article, despite the enormous pressure brought upon us by many governments throughout the world ( that in many cases don't represent the opinion of their people ) we have survived almost half a century. And to those wondering what will happen in Cuba if there's an invasion, to you I want to say : "Remember VietNam?? " Worse....
In Cuba it is a national duty to defend the country and there are actually 6 million soldiers ready to defend it, having Cuba 11 million people. Our army is composed by proffesionals and the whole people ready and trained. Try to compare it to the army of any country vs it's population and see the rate. Never doubt it, the US government isn't stupid, and have tried for over 50 years to get someone to do the "dirty work". See if they have succeeded. Take Bush for example, 8 years in office, promising year after year the surrender of Cuba to their followers in Miami, well we're still here, our words: "Bye Bye".....
"Cuba's crime's against the humanity??" Oh you're reffering to the thousands of innocent women and children that are being killed in Iraq as we speak, or perhaps the 3 million vietnamese killed during the VietNam war, or perhaps the support to tens of dictators around LatinAmerica like Somosa or Pinochet?? I know, I know, you're reffering to the lives being saved right now in Pakistan by Cuban doctors due to the earthquake in 2005, or the doctors in Guatemala, or El Salvador, or Haiti perhaps, or the support Cuba gave to the United States citizens of New Orleans when the Katrina disaster and the total restriction of Cuban doctors to access that area by the North American Government... I don't think you clearly understand the concept of "crimes against humanity", try looking it up, and see who the real perpetrarors are !!!

Great !! Now that we all know that when time travel gets invented we'll know exactly how to use them.
