      Cuba embraces open-source software

      Posted by Jeff from MSNBC

      Cuba's communist government is trying to shake off the yoke of at least one capitalist empire — Microsoft Corp. — by joining with socialist Venezuela in converting its computers to open-source software.

      Washington ignorance fuels imperial arrogance Misreading Cuba, for 47 and a Half Years

      Posted by j1o2n3a4s5 from Counter Punch

      U.S. policy has been as wrong about Iraq as it had been about Vietnam. The people do not want to be “liberated” by America. Where America has succeeded in imposing its version of democracy and freedom it has often been accompanied by the most murderous results as in the Shah’s Iran, the Somozas’ Nicaragua, the Duvaliers’ Haiti, Marcos’ Philipines and Pinochet’s Chile. What about Guatemala and Argentina? The list of America’s victims, which helps answer the question about why so many people hate America, is not exhausted here. It continues in the Middle East and includes Native Americans in the Dakotas. With an ugly history like this, it makes sense that Fidel Castro would have the support of the majority of people in Cuba. This article advises that he does because of his deeds, not just because of American imperialism

      Castro exports medicine instead of revolution

      Posted by j1o2n3a4s5 from Yahoo News!

      Let’s all remember the Tsunami in South Asia. The rich Western countries sent medical teams and aid for about a month, more a PR move. Castro Cuban team stayed there for much longer. Many within Cuba feel that Castro protects them from savage capitalism. For all the propaganda we are feeded back state side, a lot of people sure have a lot of love para El Comandante. Cuba is in a media bubble says Mr. O’reily in his show. Those in America are not? Fidel locks up many people as politikal prisoners. American courts dont? Fidel a great leader, but controversial. What really happened between he and Che?

      Cuba says Castro's life not in danger

      Posted by Billbar from Reuters

      "The Cuban leader will always fight until the last moment. But that last moment is very far away," National Assembly President Ricardo Alarcon said in the first word from Cuba on Castro's condition since Monday evening's announcement he was handing over power provisionally to his brother. Monday's news that the 79-year-old Castro was undergoing surgery for gastrointestinal bleeding set off street parties in Miami by Cuban exiles who yearn for the demise of the West's only communist government.

      Castro's health crisis could transform island, exiles here

      Posted by Billbar from San Jose Mercury News

      In a stunning development, Cuban leader Fidel Castro temporarily ceded presidential power to brother Ra�l Castro due to ''an intestinal crisis with sustained bleeding'' that required ''complicated surgery,'' according to a letter read Monday night on Cuban television. In South Florida, where the Cuban exile community has awaited such news for decades, word of Monday night's developments swept through the region and something very close to jubilation reigned in Little Havana and elsewhere.

    Castro resigns as president, state-run paper reports

    So much for fighting them there, so we don’t have to fight them here. Cuba’s right on America’s doorstep, so to speak. Florida might get invaded…

    it’s quite possible. . .after all, we’ve been doing it to most of Central America since 1900. . .

    The fascists in the U.S. have been praying for this. Perhaps Iran will take a back seat to the annexation of Cuba as the Bush administration has promised its funders.

    The end of an era. Expect Cuba to be assaulted by the U.S. until they bend to its will.
