The Thomas Jefferson Discussion Group of Orlando, Florida
Meeting No. 13 - May 2002
Chapters Bookstore, Orlando, Florida
THIS MONTH'S TOPIC: APPROPRIATE BEHAVIOR OF A FORMER PRESIDENT
Former President Jimmy Carter's recent visit to Cuba provides the grist for this month's discussion. The trip was controversial because it underscored a philosophical difference between the former President and the current administration's belief in how our country should respond to Cuba's government.
- What side would Mr. Jefferson come down on?
- Would he be in favor of our country's long enforced Cuba embargo?
- Was former President Carter's trip prudent?
- What are the parallels between this rift and the our country's division between England and France prior to, during and after their war in 1793?
