POPSWhy can't we be friends with Cuba> A sketch of the history is in order. With Manifest Destiny policy of the 19th century, the United States declared all of Latin America and the Caribbean to be the America's “back yard”. As such, the US government claimed the right to decide what kinds of governments those countries have, to enforce US corporations right to plunder the resources and exploit the labor of those countries—with military force (including invasions of countries from Haiti to Nicaragua to Cuba at the turn of the 20th century) or CIA covert actions, including assassination of leaders who resist US domination.

POPSPaki's Consider U.S. Greater Threat Than "Terrorists" Barack Obama wants military strikes in Pakistan too, just like Bush, Cheney, and the neocons. How can invading a sovereign country be justified? Truth is the U.S. is propping up Musharraf, since the CIA helped him gain power by coup d tat in 1999.

POPSLions Tigers and Bears OH MY! This eagle would rather fight then flight. Eagles by nature are hunters and perhaps its time for the AMERICAN EAGLE to get its head out of its butt and start to pay attention to what is going on around the world. Of course it is difficult to soar like an eagle when surrounded by turkeys and ostriches who would much rather run and hide then stand and fight. Perhaps Franklin had it right when he wanted to name the TURKEY as the national symbol as opposed to the EAGLE?

POPSCovert Action Policy May Need Updating "a clandestine operation is an operation sponsored or conducted by governmental departments or agencies in such a way as to assure secrecy or concealment.
