Oh this should be fun.

Let's see your proof that CNN, or the CIA as you call it, paid people to rally in the streets of little havana after the news that Castro was too sick to be in power.

And I actually know quite a few Lebanese who took part in the Cedar Revolution and no one paid them to show up. So you're wrong.

How many people in America would celebrate G. W. Bush's decision to step down as a president ( dictator )?
Many, Many, Many.

Are you SERIOUSLY suggesting that CNN is run by the CIA?

Even more, are you suggesting that the CIA is behind the protests in Lebanon?

Do you have actual proof for your ridiculous claims?

Re: How Cuba helps discriminated young Americans

And we see laca lacks the capacity to address the questions about his story in the opening post, as well as dodging questions about Cuba.

I guess he's only capable of posting the propaganda Fidel gives him.

Sad.

Make a raft, laca, and escape to freedom!!!! We're pulling for you!!!!

First off, Bush is hardly a dictator. He's a legitimately elected President (twice in fact) who is quite restricted on his power. You may wish to look up the meaning of the word "dictator"

Second, were he to decide to step down (as in resign before his term ends on January 20th, 2009 at 11:59am EST) I am sure a number of people would be happy. Whats that have to do with anything?

Hell, there will be people who will cheer when the 44th President of the United States is sworn in anyway - regardless of his party affiliation.

The fact that the senior elected executive officer in this country isnt universally adored, as your friend Fidel apparently is, is indicative of a level of freedom you only wish you had.

I still think Laca's trying to pull something and the attitude doesn't help his/her case.
Oh I agree. laca appears to be quite agenda driven - however that doesn't mean there isn't some truth in what s/he says. And I think if we want to get an understanding of issues, we sometimes have to look for the truth that is there, rather than dismissing everything outright.

Can you speak Spanish?
You should respect me for speaking your language.

I've no need for Spanish and as for respect, one must earn it. You've definitely not earned it with all the bullshit you post on here.

Please don't be uncultured and don't try to patronise me.
What does give you confidence to be so arrogant?

Speaking Spanish doen't make one "cultured".

Hon, you're the one that came to an AMERICAN forum shooting your mouth off with anti-American bullshit. That I don't respect you because of it doesn't make me arrogant.

You do not appear at all interested in discourse. You pop in, drop a load of propaganda that appears entirely fictional, and then evade all questions about your story.

Give me a break.
