Bush is really stretching it with his quotes about Cuba and sex tourism because he overlooks the criminals who are buying these services and he also skips over the reality that friendly nations are a much bigger problem in this activity. It's laughable that Bush has only imposed sanctions on Cuba, Burma and North Korea for this and human trafficing because those nations are so far down on the list compared to "friendly" nations such as Thailand. Since Bush references the number of child prostitutes on the rise due to US and Canadian travelers, how about going after those people who commit the crimes?
Thailand is a well known as the hub of this activity in SE Asia, if not the world and children from neighboring countries are sold into prostitution for as little as $25. Thailand gets spared because too many government officials are tied to the prostitution money and the government has traditionally been friendly with the US. Sure, blame Cuba for disgusting activities like this but let's have some honesty and criticize the bigger fish as well. Does anyone want to talk about Saudi Arabia?
