    Comparing the US favourably to Cuba? "D'oh!" springs to mind; stating that the US is less repressive than Cuba is almost totally irrelevant, since higher humanitarian standards are (and should be) expected from the upholder of democracy.

    Isn't there a lack of a search function for backroom topics, where such a statement may have been posted?

    Yes there is. I did mention it. JAG has been absent recently I believe. Probably busy smoking huge cigars while driving a classic cadillac through the streets of Havana.
