Even the Cubans have a lot more class than the Iraqis.Thanks, Fidel. We do appreciate the condolences and sentiments.

Wow. I am pleasantly surprised. I guess we have to take this at face value. They *could* have said what the Iraqis did.

Cuba and Palestine, neither great friends of the US, both see fit to offer condolences, while Iraq cheered the shuttle's loss. Saddam and his government officials must be seeking some extra spicy hot sauce to be served to them shortly.

Normally any statements out of there have an undercurrent/undertone but this one seems quite sincere.

There was an astronaut from India some years back, I can't recall his name. When he got back he commented on how he was looking down on earth one day, at India, and noticed that he could see no borders. It moved him.
From space there are no borders on earth...from space we are united. Thank you good people of Cuba.

It seems very sincere. I'm not a big fan of the Cuban government, but I was touched by this message, and particularly the lowering of their flag.

Interesting, I guess Fidel is one step higher on the evolutionary scale than Saddam.

On a day like today, God loving people from around the world join their hearts and hands together in grief for fallen heroes, no matter what the color, no matter what the nationality, no matter what the religion, these brave explorers of the unknown, will never be forgotten and will always be honored... They're heroes
God Bless the families of our fallen heroes

Even though Cuba is a Totalitarian state and Fidel Castro is an evil man, I still found this message more welcome than the statement from Chirac.

The Government and the people of Cuba offer their most sincere condolences to the United States government and to the American people due to the tragedy that occurred today, in which seven members of the space shuttle Columbia crew lost their lives.
The Cuban people share the grief and pain the American people are suffering today because of the death of some of their sons and daughters.
Gracias... Tenemos un dolor en nos corazon.
