I think in the Arab world we have 2 strategies :

GCC countries 1

Other middle class Arab country 2

GCC build there goals by money and just money they want to buy every thing with there money even peace with Israel .

Other Middle class country like Lebanon buy the peace by Power of gun .

I think GCC have the money to buy peace and people .while other have to believe in Gad and fight for there rights .

Any way let see where each one will arrive

As long as (and even after) the USSR propped up Castro the boycott made no differance. Europe has been trading with him, as well as the Mid East and South America. The only effective time to have stopped Castro besides using a bullet would have been to leave him alone after he took power. The US didn’t and as a result the US pushed Castro into the open arms of Russia. So while the continued boycott may or may not be based on “votes” please note Clinton nor Carter did anything to lift it so that arguement seems a little thin.

I agree with you castro wouldnt last long without the boycott. The problem with lifting the boycott on cuba is that all those good republican voting cuban americans in florida would be highly pissed and the republicans need their vote. Hell of a way to decide national policy.

You have a good line here, Mahmood. Apart from political issues, boycotts are the stupidest and most counterproductive way of damaging a supposed enemy. Look at what happened with the USA and Cuba – I believe that Castro would be kicked out in a matter of days if the US ended the boycott and let the cuban people see what they’re missing.

In my humble opinion, Nasser did more damage to Egypt and the Middle East than Israel ever did .. He was an idiot, and his policies even more so…
