"No U.S. administration since Eisenhower has renounced the use of state terrorism against Cuba, and terrorism against Cuba has never stopped. True, Kennedy undertook to Khrushchev that the U.S. would not invade Cuba, which ended the 1962 missile crisis, and his commitment was ratified by succeeding administrations. But the Soviet Union disappeared in 1991 and the commitment with it.
Cuban exile terrorist groups, mostly based in Miami and owing their skills to the CIA, have continued attacks through the years. Whether or not they have been operating on their own or under CIA direction, U.S. authorities have tolerated them.
As recently as April 2003 the Sun-Sentinel of Ft. Lauderdale reported, with accompanying photographs, exile guerrilla training outside Miami by the F-4 Commandos, one of several terrorist groups currently based there, along with remarks by the FBI spokeswoman that Cuban exile activities in Miami are not an FBI priority. Abundant details on exile terrorist activities can be found with a web search including their connections with the paramilitary arm of the Cuban American National Foundation (CANF).
Reports abound of the arrest in Panama in November 2000 of a group of 4 exile terrorists led by Luis Posada Carriles, a man with impeccable CIA credentials. They were planning the assassination of Fidel Castro who was there for a conference. Posada's resume includes planning the Cubana airliner bombing in 1976 that killed all 73 people aboard; employment by the CIA in El Salvador in 1980's re-supply operations for the contra terrorists in Nicaragua; and organizing in 1997 10 bombings of hotels and other tourist sites in Havana, one of which killed an Italian tourist. A year later he admitted to the New York Times that CANF directors in Miami had financed the hotel bombings. Through the years Posada freely traveled in and out of the United States."

Its a little suspisous (just a tiny bit) how the Americain government claims to condem terroisim yet turns a blind eye or partisipates in acts of terroism when it benifets then. If bombing the shit out of Afghanistan and then leaving the country in shambles was the right thing to do shouldn't it be done to Florida as well, if for no other reason then to not make themselves look like self-serving hypocrites, whoops too late.

Why are people giving this -2? Are you too ignorant to see this is true?

I agree, we should bomb Florida, and while we're at it why not Cuba too.

"If bombing the shit out of Afghanistan and then leaving the country in shambles"
Yes, because Afghanistan was a bustling economic power of the world. It was almost as big Uganda or Senegal. Shut your pie hole.
