What did the USA do when Cuba didn't want the USA to turn Cuba into a country of whores and drugs? Trade embargo and try to turn them into a 3rd world country. And take Gauantonomo Bay (sp?) and turn it into their land when they wish to abuse human rights. (They do a good job of covering that up too)

(I know I pick on the USA alot, its just that its easier to come up with examples for them given their recent dominance over the world in the past century. Nothing against the USA, heck I plan on moving there...)
