Fidel Castro: Cuban Model Doesn't Work

Postby Мастер » Thu Sep 09, 2010 7:20 am

This just in:

http://www.china.org.cn/world/2010-09/0 ... 895451.htm

It is unclear whether the Cuban model worked at one point but has stopped working, or if it never worked and it took him more than 51 years to figure this out.

In tomorrow's news: China holds free multiparty national elections, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad states that Jews aren't so bad, and US Supreme Court rules that constitution applies to Muslims.

Yes, but Castro recanted the next day ... said the reporter didn't get the joke.

... although darned if I can find the reference to prove this.

I saw it in the Toronto Star newspaper.
"He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you."
