US foreign policy has long hinged on the rather shaky presumption that we are always right, and that those who disagree with us must be universally reviled. With such a perspective, Bush is no doubt very confused as to how someone like Fidel Castro could have maintained power, overlooking the fact that a lot of Cubans actually LIKE their communist government.

Delusional egotism is no basis for foreign policy. Americans have an increasing reputation (since the beginning of the cold war) for being willfully out of touch with reality and utterly oblivious to inconvenient truths. Bush simply continues to prove that stereotype correct.

The real danger lies in that we might soon apply the same naive optimism to a very dangerous war that we WILL lose in Iran.

Sad to say, America is such a great nation, the only people who can destroy it are the Americans themselves. Unless we wise up and start taking the rest of the world seriously, we are doomed.

Morones....

But unfortunately, cajones muy grandes!

True, forget the propaganda from the USA, if you go to Cuba and talk to the people you will discover that Fidel is truly popular, and by and large the Cuban people are very happy with their lifestyle.

You mean "cojones" right?

Bush is no doubt very confused

America, Mind your own business!
