Quote:President Barack Obama shook hands with Cuban President Raul Castro on Tuesday as both leaders attended an emotional memorial for the late Nelson Mandela. The moment drew fire from key Republicans, including Sen. John McCain, who likened it to shaking hands with Hitler. http://news.yahoo.com/obama-shakes-hands-with-cuba-s-raul-castro-132509889.html]

You're right; when one side makes a big deal out of something, calls it another holocaust or likens something to "Hitler", it's good to remember that BOTH sides have done essentially the same things. Perspective is always good in keeping us from going over the top.

The U.S. can embargo for the next 500 years and Cuba will not fall, but maybe with a little "slick" talk we can have an effect on the landscape - take a look at our relations with Viet Nam, who would've thunk it back in the late 70s..............just a thought.
