Forgive me, but...

I have some questions:

Look at the news from Cuba. It seems a hundred flowers have bloomed forth in Cuba's relations with the distaff side of world governments. Why?

Should I be surprised that both Mexico and Spain are approaching a rapprochement with the regime? As far back as I can remember, Mexico has been Fidel's enabler, why would they change now? It was unusual that Fox took them on. And Spain, well, I have read many apologists for the Spaniards who say it is the Zapatero government. But who was in charge when they rescued the dictatorship at precisely the point when it was on its knees with their investments in tourism, when they built hotels on stolen land verboten to Cubans, and when huge numbers of tourists availed themselves of same with nary a thought to the populace?

And what about all those news reports coming out about ordinary Cubans being allowed to complain about their lot? Gee, why don't any of those reports reference the round up of up to 200 dissidents? Oh, right, this is the kinder, gentler dictatorship. They were released, and the MSM are apologists for the revolution. Is that why they don't point out that criticism is fine for the moment, as long as the regime is not directly threatened, that wanting freedom is illegal?

If the judge in the Izquierdo/Elenita case once suggested that crime in Miami would be eliminated by sending all Cubans back, why didn't she recuse herself? Why was she allowed to preside over the case?

Speaking of which, if the lawyers in this case falsified evidence, as it is alleged they did, how come there is no word of an investigation?

Inquiring minds want to know.
