I am a bit tired of the USA trying to force hard capitalism and
American style this.. American style that.. on everyone in the world.

That's a bit like complaining about the BBC World Service trying to force
British style this.. and British style that..on everyone in the world.

Cuban-American lawmakers cheered Saturday as U.S. military aircraft
transmitted Radio and TV Martí to Cuban audiences -- one of the Bush
administration's new tactics to undermine the Castro regime.

''For the people of Cuba to get an unfiltered transmission of information
is
a great thing,'' said U.S. Senate candidate Mel Martínez, who co-chaired
the
presidential commission that recommended the flights.

Martínez said White House staffers called to deliver the news that C-130
cargo planes had managed to override jamming efforts by the island's
communist government.

President Bush allocated $18 million in May to pay for the flights, though
lawmakers said the frequency and timing of future broadcasts would remain
classified.

''It's a wonderful day for the enslaved Cuban people, and I'm sure Castro
is
enraged and finding new and devious ways to block the transmissions,''
said
U.S. Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, R-Miami.

I expect that there are a lot of Americans, descendents of slaves, who would
question whether the Cuban people are "enslaved." They may be poor, some
even impoverished, and they live under Communist rule, but they are not
enslaved.

Semantics perhaps, but they are indeed 'enslaved' to Fidel's Communist rule.

They cannot come and go freely, whenever and wherever they choose.

They cannot operate freely in the global marketplace.

I'm guessing that internet activity is also tightly controlled.

Please, tell us what your definition of 'enslavement' is, so that we might pick
both it and you apart.

Walk through any US airport. If you can't see it, you're not
looking.

Take a picture of a tall building. Feel the boot on your neck?

And that is 'slavery'?

You're not to bright, are you?
