Castro used the occasion at the school - where the impoverished country gives free six-year medical educations to 6,000 poor students, most from Latin America - to begin drawing the outlines of a longer response that is sure to come. The response is to be a statement of principles that may serve for his revolutionary movement's 50th anniversary next year.A little bit of communism, helps the medicine go down?

I don't think he tried very hard.
"It may be that Cuba is unique in having emphasized health needs as a driving force and not just to make a profit," Carter said.

Castro said his country was seeking "that dream of justice, of true liberty, of true democracy, of true human rights."
Yeah, no matter how many people must be killed or oppressed in the process...
To: Cincinatus' Wife
Castro...said Cuba was striving for "a society with justice" and equal opportunity. I think everyone would be on board with that, the real question is what happens when the RESULTS are not equal. Two people start equal but one works harder or is simply more talented and as such does better. In the USA, that people is rewarded. In Cuba, they are essentially punished to keep things equal. This is what Bill & Hillary want too!!! Everyone one equal, well, they would of course be a little more equal then the rest us.

That old "justice" this and "justice" that. It's just another way of saying all should work to provide for all...only then is life equal and JUST. Unfortunately, you have to enslave people to get that kind of "justice."

...no matter how many people must be killed or oppressed in the process...Hey! You've got to break a few eggs to make a communist omlet.

Check the teeth good, Fidel!He won't have much problem finding Jimmy's. The old fool's grinning ear to ear when he's around Castro.

We were thinking along the same lines. I saw the headline that "Carter Debates Democracy with Castro" and I wondered, "Which side did Carter take?" Jimmah Cahtah is such a fool, a "useful fool" in Lenin's classic phrase. The only good things I can say about him are: 1) he's an honest man, and 2) He's no Bill Clinton. Jimmah's just trying to build a legacy. He should stick to building houses; he knows how to do that.
Besides, Jimmah already has a legacy -- smart but overwhelmingly incompetent. That is one step ahead of the one that Billyjeff has -- smart but overwhelmingly dishonest.

It's hard to dislike Jimmy Carteer. He's such a nice man, but it seems like he lets himself get taken advantage of by just about everyone.
To: johniegrad
Breaking: Stevie Wonder Debates the Beauty of Sunsets with Ray Charles!!I know. It just boggles the mind!!
To: Zeroisanumber
I really don't think Carter is all that nice. The more I see him, the the more I'm convinced. I think his "niceness" has reached the proportions of an urban legend.
To: Cincinatus' Wife
And his friends the Cuban communists rewarded this incompetent man in 1980 by sending 120,000 scum from their jails and mental institutions to the US in the Mariel boatlift to discredit the successful, hardworking Cuban middle class that came here as exiles. And Carter is too much the simpleton to realize that it contributed to his election defeat! Some things never change.

He tried to publicly de-pants the president by claiming that Cuba had no capacity to create biological weapons. Since this is not an administration sponsored event, he may be working for the DNC to try to discredit the administration. CNN and NPR seem to be turning up the heat also.
