If you can see that it’s really not worth continuing to discuss. Dictators are driven by a different mode of operation from democracies. You are attempting to draw equivalence and that simply will work.
Er. Did you actually read my previous post?

Cuba is a perfect example of lip service ideology. Castro talks about the "Revolution" but the reality is that he is a tin pot dictator. FYI Cuba has great economic potential it’s just strangled by sudo-communist economic ideals and a dictator. Further, they would be one of our largest trading partners if we decided to do business with them.
You're telling me nothing new here, except to illustrate my point exactly: i.e. then why don't we do business with him?

Anyway I see no point in continuing either. You said war is not profitable; I explained that for certain parties it is seen as eminently so. From your last reply I'm not sure you're actually getting what I am saying, so let's call it a day.
