CUBAN DIPLOMAT TWISTS THE TRUTH

Dagoberto Rodríguez, a diplomat for the Cuban government in Washington, is the latest dramatist denouncing the U.S. embargo. According to him, this is “...the longest running and most ruthless blockade ever known to mankind...”

Looking up the word “blockade” in the dictionary yields the following: “The hostile isolation of a nation, city, or harbor so as to prevent traffic and commerce.” Does anybody see an armada of ships blockading the island of Cuba? No. Castro’s regime is free to do business with every other country in the world. At the same time, the U.S. has a right to do business only with those states that are compatible with our principles and our way of life. We did not trade with Hitler, and we do not trade with Castro. It is difficult for me to understand why there is opposition to the U. S. embargo against Cuba. Give Cubans back the freedom they lost 47 years ago, and the embargo will end. Simple enough, I think. The U.N. had no problem placing sanctions and fighting against the apartheid in South Africa. Why is the Cuban situation any different?

Cuba is free to engage in commerce with every other country except the United States. They do, although the inefficient communist economy earns them a very bad credit rating. Cuba owes billions to those states and businesses stupid and unethical enough to trade with Castro and his mercenaries. I personally hope those “merchants at the Temple” lose everything, starting with the ones coming from Spain. Castro is in debt to Spain for more than a billion dollars. Here she is, Cuba’s mother country prostituting itself for money. I guess it is probably resentment going back to the Cuban victory in the war of independence. Now, a good number of Spanish firms and tourists are helping Castro put the yoke back on the necks of those unfortunate enough to live on the island. The terms “marranos” and “puercos,” which mean “pigs,” fits them well, especially those who go to Cuba to have sex with underage teenagers.

Mr. Rodríguez likes to twist the truth, as do all those working for Castro. The U.S. has imposed an embargo on trade with Cuba, not a blockade. Here is the definition of the word "embargo": “A prohibition by a government on certain or all trade with a foreign nation.” Since certain kinds of food and medicine are exceptions, what we have is not even a full embargo. Therefore, Mr. Rodríguez and all the other propagandists in Castro’s payroll should cut out the whining and the misinformation. All of you get together, kiss Castro good night, and relinquish power. With or without your help, Cuba will be free and democratic once again. The day is near.
