Something to Think About

For those who still believe that -- despite decades of their lies and deceit -- the Castro brothers can be trusted or reasonably negotiated with.

A good indicator of how committed a government is to upholding peace with its neighbors is its commitment to protecting the human rights of its own citizens.  Nations that disregard the freedoms of their own people are not likely to care much about maintaining peace with their historic enemies.
