The double standard of Fidel Castro's opinion about foreign policy should lead him to consider changing the name of his column, placing "Contradictions of Fidel Castro" instead of "Reflections of Fidel Castro." In his last essay, the Antillean dictator leaves us with an effect similar to being sick, because after having weeks writing against the authoritarian regime of Mubarak in Egypt, and how the protests of that nation were glorious expressions of freedom, now the Communist leader says Qaddafi's case is different.
In his column "The Plan is to Occupy Libya", Castro returns to the old tale of the oil-hungry U.S,, widely used to justify dictatorships, to explain that behind the riots in Libya is the NATO imperialist hand to grab the oil of that country. Besides, the Cuban warlord described Qaddafi as a great guy that is victim of the international press.
With these arguments, Castro is trying to downplay the democratic wishes of the Libyan people, accusing demonstrators of being part of this alleged NATO international conspiracy, and encouraging other governments to give their support to the Qaddafi's socialism.
But the reality is that Qaddafi is more cruel than Mubarak himself, although both are members of the same dungeon of shame that history has reserved for all despots, including Fidel Castro. The Cuban dictator may write a thousand articles trying to wipe the image to his Libyan ally; however, they will never have more power than the voices of millions of Arabs who want freedom. In any case, the next Castro column would be more interesting to discuss the issue "When the Cuban people will rise up against their oppressors?".

ReplyDeletePeople like Kennedy and Bush are not gods. United States has its problems, but that's not the point here. Our argument is the Castro contradiction: He supported, at the same time, the Egyptians protest against Mubarak's dictatorship and the Qaddafi reign of terror. How can you explain this?
