[Peace-discuss] RE:Fwd: Support Senator Kerry's sensible Cuba policy.

[Phil Stinard]

I support this only because one can edit and rewrite the suggested letter 
that is on the website referred to in Al's post.  I would not call Kerry's 
Cuba policy "sensible," and I certainly question his motives in wanting to 
allow tourism to Cuba, although this particular, microscopic, aspect of his 
foreign policy is the correct route to follow.  I would encourage people to 
use this opportunity to write Kerry and praise him for taking a baby step, 
but that he should go further and call for removing the Cuban trade embargo 
completely, halt Plan Colombia, and stop US interference in the internal 
affairs of Latin American countries.
