    ANOTHER CASTRO IN THE MAKING. America's preoccupation with the Middle east and Iraq is to the detriment of our own foreign policy in our own hemisphere.

    Another failure of the Bush administration.

    America should look to improving relations on our side of the world. We cannot afford the luxury of the continued attempt at being the moral authority of the world. Look to our own hemisphere.

      Please. Why stick our noses in someone elses business again. What do we want, more contra affairs? This meddling in other countries business gets tiresome. He isnt killing off dissenters as far as we know,and hes not threatening to invade his neighbors, so why should we worry? The cold war is over.

          Another misguided person who thinks socialism will work. However, I say this to our government, "Leave them alone". We have no right to meddle in another countries internal affairs.
