And Now, Meet My New Ambassador to Thailand, Neilsie, Come On Up Here....

The Moonie Times reports:

President Bush yesterday castigated Fidel Castro's regime for contributing to the worldwide problem of human trafficking by becoming a destination for "sex tourism" and vowed to work toward "the rapid, peaceful transition to democracy in Cuba."

"Human life is the gift of our creator, and it should never be for sale," Mr. Bush told participants at the first national training conference on "Human Trafficking in the United States" in Tampa, Fla.

The creator says you can lob missles at it indiscriminately, however.

The president, citing a Johns Hopkins University study, said the easing of travel restrictions to the island in the 1990s created "an influx of American and Canadian tourists," who "contributed to a sharp increase in child prostitution in Cuba."

Damn that madman Castro for contributing to Human Trafficking In The United States. That's something Americans would never do!

Except in the United States.

Or in Cuba.

You'd almost think Bush's concern for human trafficking was politically motivated.

"We have put a strategy in place to hasten the day when no Cuban child is exploited to finance a failed revolution and every Cuban citizen will live in freedom," said Mr. Bush, who won Florida, and the presidency in 2000, by just 547 votes.
