The next President of the US SHOULD meet with Raul Castro- if he is elected President of Cuba

"That's not a reason, that's an opinion." Almost all reasons are opinions "Have you ever visited Cuba?" Yes, I have. "You never know until you have a diplomatic experience, which I doubt any 14 year old has (not attacking your age, just that you have not had that experience)." You actually are attacking my age. There are reasons why they are sending you to Cuba and not the president. The president has better things to do. What is there for the president to do in Cuba that anybody else can't? Only one thing, and that is getting shot. "They did at first, but eventually relinquished support for him. They informed him he no longer had US support and should leave the island in order to prevent an uprising which the CIA was predicting. This is not the premise of my argument, and I will not continue discussing history with you. It is not that relevant to my premise." How can you not speak of history when mentioning Cuba? It's all about history. It's because of history that Castro hates our guts. The U.S. never stopped supporting Batista, are you saying they wanted to prevent an uprising predicted by the C.I.A. and then in 1959 in the bay of pigs they incite one themselves? <<"What do you think, that America is this huge ruler of the world that whatever America decides everyone obeys?" -Yes.>> Wow, you got it real messed up. America has no say in anything anymore. And even if we did, nobody listens to us. Fidel Castro was gonna launch missiles at us if it wasn't for the Soviet Union's intervention. America isn't even a superpower anymore, America's weak. "Castro never expressed desire to rule Cuba, rather to replace a corrupt dictator with an elected President. He had no political ambitions, and was thrown into power by the vaccuum created with the abrupt departure of Batista and recognition by the US of Castro as the leader." So you're saying the U.S. forced him to be the leader? This is absurd. "Castro never threatened to launch missiles. The missiles did not belong to Cuba, and were not under the control of the Cuban millitary." That's a joke. Castro specifically said to Khrushchev that they should just launch the missiles, he was crazy and he didn't care what collateral damage he would take from such an attack. "Castro was seeking alternatives to this relatinship, and so agreed to meet with JFK before he was assassinated." Oh yeah! You're right, Castro said that in Spanish in a speech he made in Havana around that time: "Esos hijos de puta" You can see the love for JFK right there. "If knowledge was hereditary then you'd have a point..." When you quoted me you left out the part that said that my grandfather read your argument and specifically said you don't know what you're talking about. I'm sure you know more than I do, but some of your information is faulty while all the information I provide, I make sure is supported by true facts. "It is not politically savvy to meet with the leader of another nation with expectations." I think that if the president is going to waste his time on a trip to Cuba, he should have at least a goal. He has no goal. There's nothing to be discussed between Obama and Castro. A good step would be to end the embargo, which was a terrible idea from the start, but Obama doesn't even want to do that. He said he did and then he backed out right away. So I guess we should keep things the way they are until another Cuban stages a coup, which is not gonna happen because they are pretty much satisfied with what they've got (Fidel Castro).
