Did my government create it or is it a result of a lot of people wanting to
fight Castro on Castro's own terms.
When Castro stops supporting insurrections nin the Western hemisphere,
perhaps the desire of some folks whose countries he is trying to destroy
will feel less of a need to organize themselves to fight what he's doing in
the only way they can, since we won't stop it *officially*
Tell you buddy Fidel to chill and there won't be any more Alpha's.

Sorry dude, I used to live in Cali.........also in El Salvador,
Nicaragua,
Honduras,Guatemala and Mexico and have visited Cuba myself. Prior
to
moving
to Colorado, I lived in Austin. My next door neighbor was Jorge
Lara
Braun.
Dr. Braun has been one of the most outspoken activists about the
College of
the Americas. I spent many hours with him discussing the
situation in
central America with the goon squads that are trained here. He
will
be the
first to admit that yes, they are monsters....
"He will be the first to admit", so he didn't convince you?
He didn't need to convice me. I've seen plenty of the ugliness that
both
sides have created.
Yet you have no complaints to your government that has created much of
it. Is this what Americans mean by "My Country Right or Wrong".
It wasn't about convincing anyone of anything. It was
more about comparing our respective experiences with each other.
usually one tries to get something from "comparing our respective
experiences"
......and so are the goon
squads that were trained by the Cubans in the 70's and 80's.
As if they were the only ones.
I was in El Salvador and Nicaragua in the 70's. I saw plenty of goons
on
both sides.......but they are on *both* sides, not just pro American
goons.
Neither is a good thing, but your perspective on this seems to be
that
Castro is some kind of *good guy*, just as I've heard you say that
you think
that Arafat wasn't a terrorist.
George Washington was a Terrorist, so what.
Well, anyone who engages in miliary affairs is a terrorist strictly
speaking, wouldn't you say?
When we moved
to Colorado, Dr. Braun bought our house from us...
Did he get a good deal on it, he in a Pastor after all.
I won't even dignify this slimeball inquiry.
Guess he didn;t get a good deal, some friend you are.
When I told him I would be putting the house on the market, he offered to
pay fair market value and that's what he received. I would have done the
same if the situation was reversed. You're preoocupation with this issue is
pretty strange.
I do however, believe that the
property may currently be being used as a shelter for legal political
refugees and as a clearinghouse for immigrants who are being
threatened to
try to acquire them some sort of legal residence status here. I'll
probably
be talking to him in a few weeks when I'm down there. He's a very
decent
human being who is trying to help people.
Well fight Fire with Fire they say..
So i don't understand your position on this. You Know about it
all
and just don't care, or You see "economic dominance and
exploitation"
as somehow being a good thing.
What do you really know about Columbia.
You are not answering the question. YYou see things and either don;t
care or think that they are alright. Are you just letting everything
pass by you without a comment.
Wrong again. I see two, or more sides. I don't automatically assume that the
side that the American government takes is any more or less ugly than the
side that opposes it. I have seen what happens when there is no opposition
to people like Castro, Arafat, Bin Ladin, etc. because it isn't politically
correct
Obviously you haven't noticed at all.
You say you have travelled there and
elsewhere in South America.
Travelling is nothing compared to planting one's
self somewhere and living there, sharing the life of the people who
live
there. Most Columbians that I know certainly aren't into wanting war
or
wanting their kids to associate with FARC or the druglords that pay
FARC
from protection.
Now before you start ranting about how you have read that the
president of
Columbia is in league with the dealers, go down there and live for an
extended period of time and see what the F*** is really happening and
how
things have to work in order to accommodate the shifting political
situation, not what you see from the windows of a plane, or hotel
room.
My travels didn;t include any hotels, or many planes. Whatever the
"shifting political situation is", it doesn;t justify letting right
wing militias and drug gangs run amok, while blaming all the problems
of the country on FARC.
.......but it obviously justifies left wing Castro supported militias and
left wing drug gangs.
On the question i brought up in the first place. You approve of
Alpha
66 and Omega 7 operating in America without obstructions? Doesn't
that
make all America's anti-terrorist complaints invalid.
I never said I approved of anything. Go back and check. You won't
find it.

So what are you doing to stop your country from being a terrorist
supporter?
Geee......well, perhaps I'm supporting a government that would eliminate
those who are creating such chaos that certain citizens of this country feel
the need to organize themselves to fight this terrorism because our
government can't or wan't do it.
What are you doing to discourage the efforts of totalitarian thugs like
Castro to destabilize the lives of miliions of people who would love to live
in peace?
How's this , If you have some legitimate complaints to take up with the
president of my country Lula da Silva, I'll pass on your complaints,
and you send a letter complaining about Terrorists like Aplha 66 being
supported by America. We will post the letters and results of these
letters here. A letter to your congresman will do. I'll writre any
representative of the Brasilian or Canadian Governmet with any worthy
issue you can bring up.
Seems like a fair deal to me.
How about an open letter by both of us to Castro and Alpha 66 requesting
that this stop on both sides?.....like it would do any good.
