    ....they COULD have bought plutonium easily enough from the British (their reprocessing plant produces a fair amount of extractable plutonium) and probably from the French. Possibly even from the Israelis. Buying from Russia makes no real sense As someone else explained, it seems they're doing it to take the plutonium away from the Russians.
    And I bet the Russians love that sweet, sweet money.

    The West has been buying Russian plutonium from old weapons and from surplus stockpiles under the idea that it's better to use it as fuel in a power plant than in a weapon. Ahhhh! Thanks for the info, I was thoroughly bemused :)

    ok

    BUT THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT THE BUSH POLICY IS TOWARDS CUBA Last year in Miami, I offered Cuba's government a way forward [...] Clearly, the Castro regime will not change by its own choice. But Cuba must change. So today I'm announcing several new initiatives intended to hasten the arrival of a new, free, democratic Cuba. (Applause.)

    the cold war? defeating communism? not a reason in your mind for dealing with dictators?

    no, in your mind dealing with dictators to defeat communism gets warped to become "we say we want democracy but we really want dictatorship because we're flagrant hypocrites like that" "We want democracy, only if the people elect people who will do as we say", if not, a dictator will do nicely.

    No, defeating communism is no reason to ignore democracy when convenient.

    castro and castro bro are not batista. but they still suck, no matter how they compare to batista, so we criticize them on that basis. No. You don't. That's my point. Batista was a dictator who overthrew an elected government: He got US support. Castro overthrew him, he gets the US trying to assassinate him and claiming that what they want is democracy in Cuba, when clearly democracy was not an issue with the last, worse dictator.

    Flagrant hypocrisy. Unacceptable.

    tell me where i am wrong in my understanding of your words: you are saying that the cuban government behaves the way it does because of the usa

    W.T.F!? Cuba had a democracy. A dictator overthrew that democracy and that tyrant was supported by the USA.
    He was then deposed by revolutionaries, and the USA condemned that turn of event ans has been imposing hardships on the population of Cuba ever since.
