Re: [Marxism] Cuba

[Walter Lippmann <walterlx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

What Bonafini said in Argentina is her opinion and her business.
It has nothing to do with what Hector Palacios said Friday in Miami
where he came out in favor of a complete end to the U.S. travel ban 
imposed on Cuban-Americans and on the rest of us as well:

In an interview with The Miami Herald seconds after Obama finished
speaking at the Intercontinental Hotel in downtown Miami, Palacios said he
welcomed the Democratic Party presidential candidate's remarks on Cuba.

"He spoke about Cuba and that for me has been very important,'' Palacios
said, adding: "And what Obama intends to do about Cuba includes many things
that I share. This is not the moment to fence in the people of Cuba. This is
the moment to open the doors so Cubans and Americans can go there. We cannot
subject the people of Cuba, after 50 years of war, to one more war and we
cannot continue killing each other. Changes in Cuba are taking place and
people have not realized this. Fidel Castro is no longer there but the
people are and the people are stronger than ever.''

Fidel Castro, of course, is very much still there, very active and 
making his contribution through reflections and meetings with people as
best he can, but an end to the travel ban for Cuban-Americans and for
everyone else? That puts Hector Palacios at odds with Bush, McCain, 
and way ahead of Obama. That's the point which was being emphasized.
