Democracy Trumps Tyranny - Mexico Responds to Cuba's Meddling***The truth is that Castro is in a snit because Mexico endorsed the U.N. Human Rights Commission resolution that criticized the Cuban regime's appalling abuses. He's on a rampage against the Latin American nations that overwhelmingly supported the resolution. Uruguay, which introduced the measure, broke off relations with the regime, citing all the insults. Venezuela is the only ally that Castro has left in the region. This has been a long time coming.***

Fidel Castro - Cuba

Hugo Chavez - Venezuela

President Fox has a lot of things to do. He cannot spend four hours everyday talking, as Castro does...
Fortunately for Mexico, we have elections here...
Mexicans here, I believe, do not want a president who remains in power for 43 years. We have already had that - he was named Porfirio Diaz - and because of that we kicked him out.

Badda-BING !!

Sniff sniff, the poor little castro is feeling lonely.

That first quote is golden, lol.

Both diplomatic crises are rooted in last week's vote at the U.N. Human Rights Commission in Geneva, when those two countries joined a majority of Latin American nations on the island in a vote targeting Cuba's rights record.

All this happening just when Jimmy Carter is going to Cuba to study their wonderful socialized health care system.
