But Seriously, Folks
I hope Hurricane Ivan isn't too horrible to the folks in Cuba. More importantly, if Ivan does decide to give them a bad time, I hope we are among the first to offer help. While political candidates (and their supporters) here argue about who did (or didn't) do this or that during military service in their early careers, and while we Americans all argue about our country's actions in the Middle East, the United States and Cuba still bear many scars from a conflict that goes back more than 40 years. Don't we sound just a wee bit arrogant tossing our opinions back and forth about Iraq when we still don't exchange goods and travel with one of the countries nearest to us? I hope we can all manage to close our mouths for awhile, and shape our busy little fists into open hands that help our neighbors in distress.
