Two of Castro's friends that have not deserted him are Harry Belafonnte and Danny Glover. They came out this weekend with a strong support for Castro and an attack on the USA. I note Glover is endorsing MCI on TV. We should make a note of it and act accordingly.

Why now? Who sent out the order for the liberal hive to "move on?"

Here's one friend who won't desert the old commie:

I sincerely doubt that a couple articles by two useful idiots is going to make El Jefe lose any sleep at all. The crackdown of the past couple months is like so many others before it, designed to elicit the appropriate hard response from us.

For forty plus years this has been like an extended experiment by Pavlov, Castro says or does something outrageous and we clamp down or cancel whatever reduction in the embargo is being considered. This kind of thing will continue as long as Fidel is drawing breath. Bush and his team may be capable of breaking the cycle, but how they would go about doing so isn't exactly clear to me.

Danny Glover and Harry Belafonte are still in Castro's fold.

Here's a long shot for you. My bet is that if and when Saddam surfaces, it will be in Cuba. Saddam has lots of cash and that is what Fidelito needs most. Cuban diplomats can replace the Iraqi diplomats as worldwide courriers and paymasters. No, Cuba would be the perfect retirement home for Saddam.

I am starting to think that Castro is on deck.

Cuba Libre!

After 18,000 executed people, 120,000 political prisoners and 44 years of persecuting homosexuals, Jehova's Witnesses, readers of Mario Vargas Llosa and fans of the Beatles...

Worth repeating. Is Yoko Ono still planning her little soiree with Castro? I haven't heard anything about it recently.

Of course, if she were to have the same catastrophic effect on Castro's government that she had on the Beatles, I would support her visit whole-heartedly.

>They have killed and imprisoned people excessively.

?!? I would like to ask Carlos Montaner what would be an acceptable level of killing people?

Glover and Belafonte are part of the Black Klux Klan.....like most of the members of the Castro-loving Congressional Black Caucus

It would be great to get rid of Castro and the Commies. Can you imagine the economic impact of a free Cuba..on both the US and Cuba? No, do not lift sanctions on Castro Cuba (free-trade w the Commies just puts $$ in Castro's pocket)

If we really wanted to.....we could blockade Cuba with our Navy.....and Castro and the Commies will eventually fall. Dan Rather and friends wont like it....but it would be best for this part of the world
