Terrorists are the ones attacking your side, the ones on your side are freedom fighters.

One of the most misguided and inaccuate analogies of the past quarter to half century is that "one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter", a quote solely reserved for the apologists of terrorism. While freedom fighters, and indeed regular armies will, at times engage in acts of terror, terrorists are not freedom fighters.

Terrorists indiscriminately and deliberately target civilian populations, and the more the better. This character trait would certainly not endear them to the populace. While the IRA could have been labeled freedom fighters at one time, since the goal was to be free of British rule, their use of terrorism was counter productive and purely acts of thuggery.

The only freedom jihadists strive for is the freedom to excert their own brand of tyranny. They in fact detest the personal freedoms enjoyed by much of the western world. Causing political and finacial mayhem, the main goal of terrorists, is very inexpensive, compared to the cost of war. By the time it is all over, if it ever will be, jihadists will have wrought more financial and political disarray than the bombing of Pearl harbour and the war that followed, at a fraction of the cost.

Terrorists blow up a felafel stand in Tel Aviv, the locals clean it up and continue about their daily business. Terrorists in other parts of the world plant duds, or even just threaten an action and we go into national and global lockdown. They don't even have to spend $500 to get us to react. Terrorism works, and we help it along quite nicely, because we are in fact terrorized.

He was not corrupt nor violent towards his own people.

Maybe we're not talking on the same wave length here; who do you consider "his own people"? Those who share his idealism, or all Cubans? Because he was certainly violent toward those who were not on his side even though they were his countrymen, even up to his semi retirement. It would be like the US imprisoning and/or executing all confederates for decades after the civil war ended and calling it just and righteous.

As far as corruption goes, there is no such thing as a non corrupt kleptocracy. If Cuba were such a great country there wouldn't be boatloads of people risking life and limb trying to flee.

Bill O'Reilly should be outraged, Fox News is offending Christians!



See for yourself:
The FOX News Shop

Watch this video of O'Reily's annual war on Christmas:
YouTube - O'Reilly's "War" on Christmas

Plenty of room for advertising, Fox News is denigrating!!!

Fox runs with another bogus War on Christmas story?

Fox & Friends reported that a school in central Florida had banned the "traditional Christmas colors" red and green from classrooms. In a statement to Media Matters, the school's district spokesperson, Regina Klares, has denied this, stating, "There is not a ban on the colors red and green at Heathrow Elementary."

Which only makes their own shop all the more hilarious!!

I'm talking about Cubans. His only opposition are worthless capitalist pigs who want to live beyond their means (5 cars, 2 houses..etc), and Fidel is vehemently against this meaningless lifestyle.
Anyone he killed deserved to die.

What are you even talking about? You're misinformed. Cuba is farthest from a kleptocracy as you can get. And if anyone wants to leave Cuba it's because of the horrible effects on the economy caused by the illegal U.S embargo.
