Once again the US has made a mockery of itsself in saying that Russia (you know, the former communists) is not allowed to place Tu-95 "Bear" nuclear bombers in Cuba (that island 90 miles from Florida where the cigars come from).
One might remember that the last time Russia (then the USSR) placed some "no-no's" in Cuba, the US setup a blockade around the island.
The USSR placed nuclear missles in Cuba in 1962 because we had nuclear missiles in Turkey (less than 90 miles from the USSR). Of course, we were fine with keeping them there, and we didn't let the Soviet's have a say. But when they tried some of the same -- oh no!
Now, I'm not saying the Cuban Missle Crisis was a good thing, it could have nuked this planet before I was born (obviously bad). However, it's rediculous to think that the US is allowed to do something that some other country isn't.
Oh, by the way, invading Iraq is another prime example.
More news.
