Why are Cubans leaving Cuba, even swimming across to Miami- USA. Is it because Cuba is too good for them?

Why is everyone insulting Cuba? Cuba has always stood with Sri Lanka., why are we insulting that country who is our friend at all times. They have survived an economic embargo imposed by the US for over 50 years. We should admire that country for its resilience and standing for what is right in this world. A Cuban can go any place in the world safely, but one cannot say the same of any American.

I think its because the colombians are better educated and can understand geopolitics and things like balnace of payments better than the uneducated lot. So its frustrating when the govt makes blunder after blunder.

It seems the Colombians and the detractors are still smarting and fuming for their inability to change the regime, and that is manifested by their comments !! Amusing indeed.

Why not he do a Round the world tour at once as this would be less costly than these separate tours from time to time.

Good move. The first country to stand up to American imperialism and unethical actions...and still standing strong. Growing a backbone is the first move towards being at least human.

It's not that really,Sumedha. The point is MR has to keep a good rapport with his new found friends as the old ones are are giving him the cold shoulder these days. His fault actually.

I wish to know the money spent each President's foreign visit since he came to power and benefits to our country from these visits.
