Miami man who says he's rightful owner of Havana's airport sues American Airlines

9. Vilaboy should go back to his villa, and stop hijacking U.S. policy for his benefit.

Cuban exiles seem to think they're the only Latin Americans - indeed, the only people on earth - who ever lost businesses and property due to expropriation or other government malfeasance.

As I know they're aware, there are thousands of cases of businesspeople who lost everything to right-wing dictatorships.

And I'm sure that if any of them tried taking their case to a U.S. court, these Cuban exiles would be in the front row laughing their furry butts at them.

Just ask the many Argentine-Americans who left after losing almost everything during the last dictatorship (which many Cuban exiles applauded - and still do).

They lost their estates and businesses to either a kangaroo court - at the behest of some competitor who happened to have connections with the regime.

Or simply because the terms of loans they took out were suddenly (and illegally) rewritten by some right-wing official, who glibly felt "there are too many businesses in this country, and we should cull the herd."

Many thousands lost years - sometimes generations - of work, and had to start over in the U.S. or Spain.

But they don't try to hijack U.S. policy for their benefit - and nor should anyone else.

Least of all Miami Cubans.
