I still haven't heard condemnation from you for the Cuban mercenaries who were shot on the spot in Rhodesia. Is it O.K. for everyone else to treat people bad? And what exactly will you charge these people with. What section of the Civil Code have they violated? Compare for me the teatment of the prisoners in Cuba with the recent purge of Cuban citizens with the same "inalienable rights" by Castro. How come he gets away with it? Don't give me the tired line that we claim to treat people better because it sure seems to me that we DO!
