Default "US snubs out legal cigar transaction" ?

Cuban cigars, that is -
http://cphpost.dk/news/international...ar-transaction
Now they use the "war on terorism" to justify all ?

Good that John F. Kennedy ordered 1200 cigars for him, a day before the Embargo against Cuba was enacted

When will the US ever decide to stop this stupid embargo? If it has not worked in the first 50 years, why would anyone think it will suddenly work in the second 50 years.

The answer, I am afraid, is pride. And pride is a lousy way to conduct foreign policy.

Sure you complain but who besides America will fight to keep the dangers of communism from infiltrating Western Europe!

Think about it, one day your smoking Cuban cigars the next your queuing up for free government funded medical treatment! Its a slippery slope.



Oh wait...
