FORT LAUDERDALE, United States (AFP) - President George W. Bush slammed Cuba for being the only country in Latin America without democracy, but vowed that "the tide of freedom" would one day reach the communist island.
"Only one country in this hemisphere sits outside this society of democratic nations, but one day the tide of freedom will reach Cuba's shores as well," Bush said in a speech before the Organization of American States' general assembly here.
The United States has had an embargo against Cuba for more than 40 years, and the Bush administration has tightened sanctions on travel and money transfers between the two countries.
Cuban President Fidel Castro and Venezuela have recently been calling for the United States to extradite Luis Posada Carriles, a Cuban-born Venezuelan and former CIA asset wanted on terror charges in Cuba and Venezuela.
Washington has rejected an initial Venezuelan request aimed at gaining Posada Carriles' extradition to put him on trial for the downing of a Cuban airliner with 73 passengers aboard in 1976. He escaped a Venezuelan prison while awaiting an appeal of his Venezuelan trial.
On or Off Cuba Ping.

You're living in Saint W's fantasy world. I never said I WANTED the Witch Queen to win. It's just obvious that the Republicans are totally screwing up, and people around here are tired of the debt, the Mexicans, high taxes, etc.
Start using your brain and quit your knee from jerking. Thinking--and not high school-level name calling ("troll") is going to stop her/it.
Actually, political refugees from the PRM have been migrating to my country by the thousands these past few years. One of them plays on my softball team. A nice guy, for a foreigner.
