The photographs will break your heart. Ten people from Cuba, where Hurricane Dennis hit this year, riding the worst piece of rusted junk you can see, inventively powered by a tractor motor and some strange orange sail, rode through HURRICANE RITA and its storm-tossed seas for a week in the Florida Strait determined by hope to reach life and freedom on U.S. shores.

Just as they were within sight of U.S. land, a Coast Guard cutter tried to ram their boat and sink them. The poor Cuban refugees were desperately resisting the Coast Guard (see the photos here), because the U.S. officials would take them not to freedom, but back to communism, where being returned, they would lose everything. Everything – their homes, their right to schooling, their jobs, their right to life. That’s what Fidel Castro does to people who try to leave his island paradise. He takes everything away from them. Like Mugabe.

The U.S. has a monstrous, inhuman, wetfoot-dryfoot policy that is creating untold human misery. How can anyone not hate the U.S. after an experience like that?
