You made the point that there hasn't been a popular uprising against Castro as proof of, um, what?

That America is responsible! If I knew how to read, I suppose that would be self-evident without you saying it.

He's a military-backed dictator who has maintained power for a long time, and he has guns pointed at his own people.

America should be ashamed of itself!

Even if what you just posted was provable--and it is not, even under the most strained arguments--it misses the point that Castro is the military-backed dictator, and um, he is not American, was not put in power by America and has not mistreated his people at the behest of America.

It is not possible to be this disingenuous, or this much of a fathead.
America's actions never have bad consequences, inadvertent or otherwise, in the rest of the world. Certain people who fought with our weapons in Afghanista are proof enough of that.
This has to be performance art at this point.

Actually Simon, this one was definitely more obvious than yours.

Philosophy 201. Introduction to Logic.

American foreign policy has sometimes had negative consequences for other countries. Therefore, America is responsible for Fidel Castro abusing his own people and remaining in power so long.

That's a definite A implies B. Crystal clear.

You obviously advanced to Philosophy 301, though... The "call the guy a fathead because he is pointing our your fallacies," demonstrates that you are an even more evolved thinker than I realized.

It's amazing that after forty years of America propping up military dictators, fascists and thugs all over the world, Castro and Cuba still remains the bogeyman of the sanctimonious.

Fenian let me just point out that Cuba is another lasting legacy of your beloved JFK.

Maybe you could explain to the rest of the class how that works, Boom.

We will now hear about air power and the Bay of Pigs and how JFK botched the missile crisis, which will ignore the fact that Castro came to power while Ike was president, and also will ignore the fact that I am glad not to have died in an atomic fireball in 1962.

You forgot political assassinations.

It was more...not much more.
