Probably one of the 'better' communist nations, mainly because the climate there makes food shortages less likely and less brutal. Still, not a great place to live, as evidenced by people's willingness to cross shark infested waters on leaky boats to get to Florida. You don't see people going the other direction.

Why can't we virus bomb that country already?

You dont unleash a virus bomb 90 miles off your southern coast.  It's poor planning.

Especially with potentially infected people from the affected area attempting to enter our country regularly.

Put mines in the ocean between us and cuba THEN virus bomb it.

And interrupt shipping lanes, fishing, cruises, ect? Don't mess with the economy man.

Fine. Only put the mines 12 miles off of cuba. Put enough mines so that NO boat could make it out of cuba.

Do you know how much that would cost the taxpayers?

Of course, let's also forget the idea that we might accidentally have flying animals somehow transfer the virus to our shores.

simply make it be a virus that's not one birds can get so flu is obviously out.

Do you have any idea how much it costs to engineer a virus?

Seriously, this is a stupid idea, too much that can go wrong or too expensive - if we're going to use a horrific weapon that will make the entirity of the world hate us, why not just use nukes? Or hell, why not just carpet bomb the place?

Though given the great job those hispanic guys did on putting in new carpet in our house yesterday, I don't think I want you to destroy Cuba. Wink

The world already hates us so nothing we do either way will change their opinion of us os I say we should do whatever the  we want and not give a sh**t about third worlder biching.

Well, if you don't mind us actually becoming the Great Satan that the Islamists claim us to be, fine. More fuel on the fire for terrorism, and not just from the Middle East anymore.
