So the grand old man steps down... About time, if you ask me. I don't really know what to make of him; was he a great man who fought for his ideas, or was he just a stubborn man who didn't want to face that this form of leadership was outdated?
From the BBC. You gotta love the name of that newspaper. |

Seems that Bush wants to make the Cubans realise that freedom is good. I don't think all Cubans feel unfree as such, but I don't know much about it.
Maybe the paper is named after Fidel's wife :oP |

Well, I have mixed feelings about Cuba and Fidel Castros' regime.
But one thing is for sure: if it's George Bush who will be in charge of helping the "people of Cuba realise the blessings of liberty", then it's a downfall (or a dégringolade, as Goosey teached me :oP).
His concept of liberty is rotten to the core. What can you expect from someone like him anyway.
And I hate it that the US have to be EVERYWHERE. I don't think the cuban people will easily forget all the damage that the US has been doing to Cuba for over a century, including the economic embargo that have been oppressing the country for decades - and which seems won't be lifted "any time soon". Blah. And they talk about "liberty". This hypocrisy makes me sick. |

Personally, I think that democracy would be a good start :o) |

Depends on what kind of democracy, but I agree, it'd be the best choice. However, I don't think they'll be changing the political regime soon.

Hahaha, I have strong political beliefs, and "left-wing views" you could say. That's why I decided to study sociology instead of international relations :oP |
