Fucking hypocrite. He doesn't sanction his oil-producing slave-trading buddies the Saudis, but he places embargoes on Cuba, which doesn't trade slaves? Fuck him!

[Amusing Scrotum]

Since when have either Cuba or Venezuela been involved in the -


modern-day slave trade in prostitutes, child sex workers and forced laborers.

This is just ludicrous.

Also where is Myanmar and why is it one of the three countries in the world, to not receive financial aid from America?

Myanmar (Burma) is a right wing military junta in Southeast Asia.

Thats the place where that woman has been under house arrest for ten years, isn't it?

I wonder what problem Washington could possibly have with a "right wing military junta". They seem to me to have a lot in common.

Yeah it's been under a military dictatorship since 1962.

[Nothing Human Is Alien]

That left Myanmar, Cuba and North Korea as the only nations in the list of 14 barred completely from receiving certain kinds of foreign aid. The act does not include cutting off trade assistance or humanitarian aid, Jordan said.

Yeah, cuz there's a huge prostitution scene in the DPRK. :lol: WTF

Ah, so that is what the Juche theory has added to Communist thought. Prostitution and Trade Unions for Prostitutes.

:lol:

You guys are fucking retards. He is waiving the sanctions to give them MORE money to fight slavery because they failed to do it with what they had.

Saudi Arabia, Washington's closest Arab ally in the war on terrorism,

:lol:

I cracked up when I first read this concidering that Saudi Arabia is the only remaining monarchy in the world and has the highest rate of human rights abuses. The idea that they were fighting terrorism made me laugh.

[romanm]

Cuba has alot of prostitution, including child prostitution. I don't know how involved the Cuban state is in it, but it does turn a blind eye to it.

And why couldn't the US spend the money they gave to the Saudis (Who might as well just spend it on another fancy mosque) on fighting the slave trade themselves?

[Mickalov]

Because NoX - that defeats the point on them threatining to take the finantial aid away from the other countries, and how do you expect them to do that? Invade Saudi to stop the slave trade? Or do it from Iraq so then we would have the slave trade lords mad at us to... think like yoda :)

I don't believe the United States has the resources ( or is willing to use those) to combat the slavery in Saudi Arabia. If it is not a threat the the United States in their words, they're not going to do anything against it with their own people. Besides that, Saudi Arabia not only gives us tons of oil, but much of the Motorola company is based there.

But I do agree that the Saudi's should not get the money because it will not be used for intended purpose.

[Mickalov]

I agree partly with you barret, they will probably use it for something else. Makes about as much sence as giving money to the African governments for 'aide' they just put it into things that benifit their higher ups. But back on topic my post wasn't to defend America for not doing something their selves, it was to shut down the stupid ass that says bush supports slavery when he clearly doesnt, you just dont have a reading level above 3rd grade.

[danny android]

What African government are you talking about? Last time i checked Africa was made up of 55 nations.

[closetcommie]

Well, we really couldn't expect Bushie to be fair about it -- if he were being a total rules-queen about it, he would have to cut off aid to his own country since a notorious sex-trade ring is being run out of US territory, Saipan.

I don't know if "right wing" is exactly correct. "Nationalist and highly repressive" might be most correct. The regime describes itself as "Buddhist socialist" or used to, at least.

The regime nationalized a lot of stuff when it took power, mostly scapegoating 'cause a lot of industry and commerce was owned by people of Indian or Chinese descent.

There's a lot of ways scum can piss off Washington without ceasing to be anti-working class scum.

Right. 'Cause if somebody fails to fight slavery with your money, it makes sense to give 'em more money...to also do nothing with. Who's the retard?

That's not only an excuse, but not even a good excuse.

Obviously if money is cut off, that's an incentive for a regime to change its behavior.

But better yet: the Saudi regime is scum, its toleration of slavery - which was legal not so long ago - is only one reason. It deserves no support....it does deserve to be overthrown by workers in Saudi Arabia, incuding the legions of rightless immigrant workers (even their children born in the country have no rights.)

And it wouldn't surprise me if the U.S. does invade Saudi Arabia at some point to secure direct control of the world's largest oil reserves...right now Uncle Sam turns a blind eye to Saudi slavery, but if it becomes convenient the same facts will become an excuse for war.

In fact, that may be, in a long-range sense, what the Washington Post article is angling for. The Post is also a ruling-class paper, after all.
