awesome pics. So proud of our team down there. Poor[not] Diaz-Balart.. wow...what a travesty, -little leaguers in havana. If miami folk are really pertubed by this, it is a sad day for america (and an eventual free cuba too b/c these idiots like Diaz-balart will ostensibly be down there more).
these stunts do nothing for Cuba's freedom -- the message becomes if our little leaguers can go down and have fun how bad can the situation be? why does Cuba need to change? right Peters? isn't that why you keep promoting this publicity stunt?
Anon, what I actually think is that it’s remarkable that this group persisted in several tries to get a license, remarkable that they got it, remarkable that people in Congress objected, remarkable that the Administration didn’t heed their objections, terrific that these kids are in Cuba, playing ball and learning, and amazing that they got all those ballplayers to sit still for Mass. The rest is in your lively imagination.
I wonder what these young people are going to "learn" in Cuba. Do you think they will learn how Cuban young people are systematically denied freedom, to speak, to worship, to assemble? their God-given human dignity? to make choices for themselves? all by a government that idiotically insists on enforcing a discredited and bankrupt system? somehow I don't think so Peters
Anyway, I am glad they went. I am very happy the Bush administration authorized the trip, I am doubly glad because this goes against Diaz-Balart's demagogery. Will he blame Bush? Will he blame "the liberals"? Probably the second option. It is not in his interest to call into question Bush's motivation or actions. So, there you are, Diaz-Balart, te jodiste!
