Somehow, I am feeling sad. Cuba is still an example in so many ways, in spite of the corruption, the famine, the oppression.

And Bush’s grin - talking from Rwanda no less - his speech emphasising “true democracy“, makes me feel truly uneasy. From where I stand and through all his flaws, Castro had more integrity and courage in his little finger than Bush could ever claim to.

And Bush talking about Castro’s “kind of staged elections”? Dude. Give me a break.
