I know that Cuba isnt the best of friends with us, but come on, someone is offering us help but we refuse much needed medical supplies and doctors. I wasnt around what happened back in the 60's but i know some fcked up stuff when on. We need to stop living the past, especially when Cuba hasnt threatened us in the past 40 plus years. This shows us how much Bush can give two ****s about the poor and needy

Accepting his help would undermind our attitude towards him. We don't want, nor need, his doctors. We've got more than enough doctors here in the states.

In addition, we don't necessarily need his money, or money from other countries. The relief effort, and the rebuilding effort, will help rebuild what damage has been done to the economy because of this storm.

Castro is a brutal dictator and communist capitalism-hater. He's an enemy of the free world. End of stroy.

He is a Communist dictator who abuses his own people and keeps them living like in an island prison. He has no genuine concern for human beings, and if you believe he does take a look at Cuba.

Remember that Saudi prince that offered 10 million after 9/11, but then blamed it on the United States. We didn't accept that, nor should we accept donations from dictatorships that claim to "care".
