I saw TD's post thru your comment and he wrote "what would be the logic in normalizing relations with a brutal repressive Communist dictatorship?"
We "normalized" relations with Vietnam, it's still a dictatorship and we haven't been hurt by that action.
It was foolish to do so with Vietnam, thanks Bill Clinton, just as it would be to do so for Cuba. But then, since when did dimwits on the left comprehend the stupidity of incongruent political policy and our enemies’ complete disregard for our warnings.
When you "normalize" relations with brutal regimes and claim you are the guardian of freedom; no one takes you seriously any longer. Exhibit "A"; Egypt. Exhibit "B" Libya. Exhibit "C" Syria. Exhibit "D" Afghanistan. Exhibit "E" Iraq. Exhibit "F" Iran.
Carry on; thinking has never been your forte' which is why you support lying idiots like Clinton and Obama.
