Iran and Cuba! What's the big difference?

A couple of random thoughts regarding the Iranian Shamelection. I'm glad to see that this fraud hasn't been lost on the people of Iran. Unfortunately they will continue to suffer under the iron fist of the radicals that control their gov't. My thoughts and prayers go out to those who willingly put themselves to harms way to protest this fraud.

What people here in the US (especially our current administration) need to recognize is that what is happening in Iran is exactly what would happen in Cuba if there were ever even a pretense of a fair election there. Why are we rewarding Fidel and Raul with relaxed travel and trade when the repression of the Cuban people is even far greater than those living under Ahmadinejad?
