CNN || Castro resigns as president
“The United States will help the people of Cuba realize the blessings of liberty,” Bush said upon hearing the news that Castro resigned. When Bush employs his famed narrative of the US as the liberating nation I think of trouble. The fact that the word ‘embargo’ was not mentioned makes me think the US still hasn’t figured that one yet. Next we’ll tell Cuba that keeping the embargo contributes to their liberation. http://m.cnn.com/cnn/ne/world/detail/75793
