fyi, I have a degree in history, I read a lot of biographies of world historical figures, read history books regularly for leisure, so quit the bull**** about me not knowing about history, ok? It was stupid to begin with, but your facts about me are just plain wrong. Especially when it comes to Cuba, a country about which I actually know a lot.
usahog...are you under the impression that the Bay of Pigs debacle led to a UN agreement to disarm Cuba? I hope not. It was a terrible moment in the cold war. Not the same as the Iraq situation at all.
Let me spell out my point for you, since you two don't seem to get it.
1. Iraq must disarm because it lost the Gulf War. Those were conditions of that war.
2. There is no agreement or demand that Cuba disarm. If there is, please let me know. And let Cuba and the UN know, while you're at it.
3. If there is no demand that Cuba disarm, and there is one that Iraq disarm, then the two are not in the same boat.
4. If the two are not in the same boat, then there is no sense to 'the pot calling the kettle black,' or whatever. That's my point.
Make sense?

ps: DMV, the homophobic stuff is seriously out of line. I hope everyone can agree with that. No different than racism, my friend, and has no place here in political debate. Seriously out of line.
