Reply #57: Meanwhile, Outside the Sandalistas' Magic Circle [View All]

[Vogon_Glory]

Meanwhile, outside the Sandalistas' magic circle, progressives have been familiarizing themselves with genuine Cold Warrior rhetoric involving Cuba and the flights of fancy held by the Cuban Liberty Council and other far-right organizations.

Ever heard of the right-wing Cuban emigres' slogan 'No Castro, no problem!'? That seems to be the hardliners' position and to even SUGGEST that a post-Castro Cuban government might have problems with the drug cartels seems to be as tabu on the far right as it is among the Sandalistas.

The rest of us have seen 'that old tired cold war strategery' put into place in Iraq by George GTT Bush. The rest of us have watched law and order fail to coalesce in Afghanistan after the Taliban was ousted and also how forcefully the well-armed and well-financed narco-traffickers are challenging the Mexican state. So at least some of the rest of us feel we have every bit as much reason to be concerned as to what could possibly happen in Cuba, despite DU's Sandalistas' rosy reassurances.
