Mexico Accuses Cuba of Blackmail ****"The problem was not Bush," Castaneda said. "The problem was that Castro had threatened, through his acts, to dedicate himself to internal politics in Mexico." Castaneda cited planned meetings with Mexican news media and anti-globalization protesters. Castaneda said Fox also wanted to avoid having Castro disrupt the summit by squabbling with the United States or protesting the "Consensus of Monterrey," an agreement on financial aid for poor nations that had been signed by virtually all of the nations at the event. Castaneda claimed that while Cuba had accepted the document without major protests two months earlier, Castro planned to "make a scandal" over it in Monterrey.
In nightly state television broadcasts this week, Cuban officials have showered Castaneda with insults, calling him "diabolical." Castro has suggested that Fox is a "decent" but naive dupe of Castaneda. Fox said Wednesday he has changed his country's foreign policy "in a radical way" since becoming the first opposition party candidate to win Mexico's presidency. In addition to Mexico's traditional focus on noninterference in other nations' affairs, Fox said Thursday that human rights "are universal and are above political and ideological interests."***
Whether he's leaning towards Commie dictators, or out in the Communist paradise on his own, he leans markedly to the left.
As further evidence of media bias, why does the media refer to the dictator Castro as "Cuban President, Fidel Castro", and Pinochet as a "Former Dictator"? If I'm not mistaken, Pinochet actually turned his country into a democracy when he finished saving his country from the evil Commies. Chile is a democracy during the lifetime of Pinochet... Cuba????
