- From the page: Cuba's ailing leader Fidel Castro has said he will not accept another term as president, ending 49 years in power. I neither will aspire to, nor will I accept, the position of president of the council of state and commander in chief, he told the newspaper, Granma.
The 81-year-old handed over power temporarily to his brother, Raul, in July 2006 when he underwent surgery. US President George W Bush said the news should mark the beginning of a transition towards democracy for Cuba.
The international community should work with the Cuban people to begin to build institutions that are necessary for a democracy, and eventually this transition ought to lead to free and fair elections, he told reporters in Rwanda. And we're going to help. The United States will help the people of Cuba realise the blessings of liberty.
Comment: Doesn't this doublespeak just make you squirm? Or maybe you think Bush is sincere. If so, then do yourself a favour and get a copy of Naomi Wolf's The End of America, and Andrew Lobaczewski's Political Ponerology. Your eyes will be opened.
