Because I Hate America

Or because I love it enough not to want to see it in bed with fascists, I wanted to link to this Alternet post.

Given the United States’ long history of supporting one fascist dictatorship after another in Latin America, the embargo of Cuba has been the height of hypocrisy on the U.S.’ part. While it’s true that Amnesty International has often been critical of the Castro regime over the years, many of the other Latin American dictatorships that Amnesty International has criticized have been U.S. allies—and Cuba has hardly had the market cornered on human rights abuses in Latin America.

Go see who our friends in Latin America have been. And don't forget that way back when; greedhead, racist assholes like Henry Ford were deeply in love with Adolph Hitler.
