Re: [Marxism] Cuba-L - Fidel Castro Offers 1,100 Cuban Physicians

["Eli Stephens" <elishastephens@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Quite a contrast with the U.S. "leaders". Here's how I wrote it up on my
blog - links in the original here:

President responded quickly to Hurricane Katrina

Not President Bush. Cuban President Fidel Castro. Speaking on Cuban
television tonight, Castro revealed that on Tuesday, while George Bush was
still on vacation playing with his spiffy new guitar, and a day or two
before the Secretary of State went shopping for shoes, Cuba contacted the
State Department and offered no less than 1,100 doctors to assist in dealing
with the crisis. Doctors who, unlike the hospital ship which has yet to
leave its berth in Baltimore and isn't scheduled to be in New Orleans until
next Saturday (!), could have been on site by Wednesday if the Cuban offer
had been accepted.

It wasn't.
