A Tale of Two Posts

Cuban Americans are by and large characterized as crazy intransigents. And truth be told, on occasion we have been known to let our passions get in the way of our public relations. But can anyone who cares about freedom or justice read these, which I picked up at Babalu, and not be driven to anger at the stupidity, or callus insensitivity the world over, particularly among the intelligentsia?

First read Carlos Eire's very clear explanation, courtesy of Ziva, of just what travel to Cuba supports. Then bearing in mind that Che Guevara was a mass murderer who helped impose the same Stalinist system Dr. Eire describes, read the article that forms the basis of the previous post by Fontova. Oh, the horror.

POLITICIANS AND REVOLUTIONARIES
IN DICTATORSHIPS AS IN DEMOCRACIES, RIVALRY BETWEEN PERSONAL GOOD AND COMMON GOOD, PILOT THE TRAIN THAT HAULS HUMANITIE’S DESTINY.
IN CUBA AND IN EXILE, POLITICIANS COMPETE TO GAIN THE POWER OF PILOTING, BY ADOPTING THE ENVIRONMENT’S EMOTIONS AND PREJUDICES; WHILE REVOLUTIONARIES, STRETCH TO OBTAIN FREEDOM OF ACTION AND THOUGHT FOR ALL, WITH HONESTY AND TRANSPARENCY. THIS 21ST CENTURY MAY ALLOW HONESTY AND TRANSPARENCY TO BE HUMANITIE’S PILOTS; AND THIS IS THE HISTORIC MINUTE TO REACH. COOPERATE; IN UNITED STATES, CHOOSE WITH INDIVIDUAL HONESTY; IN CUBA, DEMAND FREE ACCESS TO INTENET FOR ALL; FREEDOM TO ENTER AND EXIT THE COUNTRY TO BE FREE FOR ALL CUBANS.
IN CUBA, THE DICTATORS ARE AWAKENING FROM 50 YEARS OF WAR AND THEY CAN OPEN THE DOOR TO THE 21ST CENTURY BY: ALLOWING FREE EXIT AND ENTRANCE TO ALL 26 OF JULY DISSIDENTS AND OTHER CUBAN INTELLECTUALS WITHOUT RESTRICTION; AND OPEN THE WORLD’S KNOWLEDGE THAT IS THE INTERNET, TO ALL CUBANS. IN UNITED STATES, AS IN CUBA, POLITICIANS ACT OUT OF PARTY POLICY AND PERSONAL AMBITION; REPEATING THE SAME WATCHWORDS AND ACHIEVING ONLY TO INCREASE THEIR PERSONAL FORTUNE. DON’T ALLOW YOUR BELIEVES OF WHAT IS HONEST AND JUST, BE MANIPULATED; VOTE OR ACT FOR YOUR IDEAS, HERE OR THERE.

Buenos Dias!
A Jakarta journalist has posted a comment on our anti-Castro article and it would be useful to have some Cuban democrats give responses.
