Come on Barack

Barack Obama announced the partial lifting of sanctions against Cuba today.

Clearly this is good news for the people affected, but partial? Come on Barack - the Cuban people have suffered for 50 years! Has the embargo had any positive results, or only a lot of misery for many poor people?

While on the topic of results...I keep hearing about how we are going to beef up the war in Afganistan. But what are the goals? This is how we get into endless quagmires! We are simply told that we need to ramp up the war, with no discussion of what we are trying to achive.

Listen! We are killing many innocents with no goal offered. Let me say that again - We are killing many innocents with NO GOAL OFFERED. What the hell? Are we insane? If an individual was found to have killed even one person, and said "...not sure why I did it..." we would have no problem classifying that person as insane!

Barack promised hope. I am willing to bet that the families of those killed by our drones don't feel more hopeful, and neither do I.

Come on Barack...
