Steve Clemons - Open Up Exchange and Travel With Cuba

On Day One, the next president needs to take stock of how eroded and degraded our foreign policy position is with much of the world. One of the lowest hanging fruit opportunities to improve our foreign policy portfolio is to use people-to-people exchange, cultural exchange, and relaxed travel allowances to open up our relationship with Cuba.

Heritage, AEI and the Hudson Institute have issued a statement decrying the Human Rights Council proposal issued by UN General Assembly President Jan Eliasson and have lauded John Bolton's stand.

Where were they when Bolton was uninvolved with the negotiations.

More later on this serious issue.

Rights? Humans have no right to anything. Not to justice, not to human decency, and certainly not to any damn fool Geneva Convention. Why, give a human a right and the next thing you know, there are all these expectations. Humans will expect freedom and humans will expect to be free from rendition and free from detention and free from torture. We simply cannot have that now can we. Any government and especially the American government has the right to rendition, detention, and torture. If the United Nations gets it's way, the U.S. will have to give all that stuff up. Holy spumoni, what would the old Bolton do then?

Seriously, that guy is like a bull in the china shop. They don't care what he breaks so long as he breaks as much as he can.

Tom Toles' editorial cartoon in today's WaPo is a must-see on this subject...

You ain't seen nuthin' yet. Wait until the neo-cons hand us our next "trifecta", then we will REALLY get to see what these monsters like Cheney and Bolton are capable of.

Coming soon, to a city near you, Bush's next move.
