Dr. Oscar Elias Biscet:

¿Cuba Libre?

Don't hold your breath! :(


"The communist regime is the same as in 1959.

"It's repressive, unproductive and corrupt.

"It's governor, Raul Castro, has the same characteristics as five decades ago.

"He's perverse cruel and a murderer..."

Question:

"After having spent the better part of the last 11 years in prison, do you believe the Cuban government has made any changes in the way it treats its citizens?

Answer:

"Currently in Cuba we have the same dictatorship we've had during the last 52 years, Castro's Stalinist dictatorship.

"What we've seen in the country's government is the succession of one ruler to another.

"Recently, Fidel Castro was [succeeded] by his brother, Raul.

"Since then, state terrorism has also increased.

"They have even beaten women, and they have murdered people, like Orlando Zapata Tamayo and Juan W. Soto, who were [working] in a peaceful manner for human rights.

"The communist regime is the same as in 1959.

"It's repressive, unproductive, and corrupt.

"It's governor, Raul Castro, has the same characteristics as five decades ago.

"He's perverse, cruel, and a murderer..."

Humm .. good points -- all of them!

But!

What happens starting tomorrow, for example, if the Castro brothers disappear off the face of this earth?

Some sort of unrelieved horror of anarchy, chaos and civil war? :(
