Bahamas Issues: Comment on proposed US sanctions against Bahamas over Cuban dentist
Will the Bahamas send the doctors to the United States or will we send them back home to Cuba?
If we send them to the United States, what do we tend to lose. What does Cuba have to offer us? Will our treaty with Cuba be threatened. Can Fred Mitchel influence the Castro government not to pull out of the Bahamas. What will happen to all them Cuban eye doctors we have here helping us? Didn’t the United States sent us two Ivy league student doctors to help us out with eye care?
And if we send them to Cuba, what do we tend to gain. Will the United States really sanction us? Or is that propaganda talk by some wanton congressman, who opinion really doesn’t matter. What will George Bush actually decide? How much economic power does Florida have in regards to influencing the Bahamian economy. Has Mr. Christie already committed to the good Floridian govenor that the Bahamas plans to send the Cuba doctors to Florida?
Has anyone reminded publicly the Floridians about how much Bahamian money is pumped into that state? Have we reminded them about the constructive contributions we have made in regards to building that state. Exactly who is important to who?
Lastly, I want to remind persons about Elian Gonzalez. What did the great United States government decided to do with him. How come them Cuban Americans aren’t still up in arms over that.
And how come it seems as if the Bahamas is always being bullied into making decisions that benefit other people. And exactly how much clout do these Cuban Americans actually have?
The interesting thing is no bahamian eye doctors have offered this service free of charge or at a reasonable rate for those unable to meet the cost all you hear is how this 10 or 11 in 200 have not been successful it is easy to criticize but how many will put their money where their mouth is titanic implications
