Superficially affectionate nicknames aside, there is not much respect left for Castro and there was never any to speak of for bin Laden .... the national attraction to seeing David stand up to Goliath only works when there is a genuine Goliath, a giant who abuses the Normal People .... it's getting to be a while now since the US has had the northern half of the nation occupied, and chicanos are much less suppressed now than they were thirty years ago, they're beginning to enter politics even .... it's a different thing, when the anglo accepts la Raza, makes it not so much about nation-states any more, just about the rights of the people on the continent of our ancestors .... the matrícula consular is being accepted by various northern cities and states right now, don't think mejicanos aren't watching that .... those who object to this or that policy of Fox or Bush or whoever are not wanting to hand Fidel or Osama power over them, either .... day by day average people are better informed, this is my whole sense of the matter
Guantánamo - the US should simply vacate the place, immediately ... if they can't summon the guts to admit the gross mistake of occupying it under duress all these years, they could just declare it redundant to their needs or something, and clear out .... shameful act, to occupy under force of arms what is clearly cubano territory ..... Fidel doesn't even cash the rent cheques, they send him usd2000 every year and he just saves them, presumably for the case in the Hague .... this is called plattismo, this arrogance, an example of what turns a friendly giant back into Goliath
No time to check out that blog, looks good, later .... uw - he and i get along much better than do either of us with FL, whose sense of humour seemed to fail him there the other day .... and no, i think i'm banned until quite late in the month .... better off that way though, get more garden work done -g- ...... later, cháu
