    Default Cuba or Israel: if you HAD to choose which one would it be?

    I am in Miami on holiday now, and yesterday visited Little Havana. The vehement opposition I saw all around me to the Cuban regime - petitions against Raul Castro, books and posters critical of the regime - reminded me of the controversy generated by another small country whose impact on global politics has been grossly disproportionate, which is surrounded by hostile neighbours and whose policies both internally and externally polarise people like few other countries or issues. Namely, Israel.

    Therefore, if you HAD to choose between the two - whether to go on holiday, to move or even if the two went to war with each other - which would it be?

    A nice case of "choosing between cholera and the plague".



    Wake up and smell the coffee.

    No one sane would choose anything other than neither.

    Neither, but I love Cuban cigars.


    I treat myself every now and then with a good French cognac and a good Cuban cigar.

    Why did you make the question an offered the option "neither"? haha
    That takes out all the fun. But that reminds me of a question that a Neo-con was trying to push on people some years ago, he asked people: if they would be lost in the desert, night time, in the middle of a sand storm and then, suddenly, they would found two houses, one was a jewish family' house (that would take them if they would pay for the stay), and the other one was a muslim family' house (that would take them if they would convert to islam), which one they would pick...

    (and to answer you, since you offered "neither" option, that's it).
