The U.S. doesn't like to talk - to anybody, about anything

we won't even go to watch...

The United States will not attend next week's summit in Cuba of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) that will gather some of its most hostile critics just 90 miles from U.S. soil, the top U.S. diplomat in Cuba said on Thursday.

Michael Parmly said the United States had not taken up an invitation to attend the summit of 116 developing nations as an observer as it has in the past, noting that Washington had a better relationship with previous host Malaysia than it does with communist Cuba.

"We simply did not pick up the invitation," Parmly told Reuters.

the fact that the u.s. was invited at all, given the host country and the list of other attendees, is remarkable in and of itself... and why should the u.s. only go if it has a "better relationship" with the host country...? and, with parmly already there, it would only take a short cross-town trip to attend... but, nooooo... the u.s. has to get on its high horse and send a SYMBOLIC MESSAGE... horse hockey...
