In a Reuters article this morning, Secretary of State Condolleezza Rice is reported to have started her visit of "conciliation" to Spain by criticizing the Spanish for their policy of engagement toward Cuba. She said,
“Democratic states have an obligation to act democratically, meaning to support opposition in Cuba, not to give the regime the idea that they can transition from one dictatorship to another,”
This is yet another stunning example of the hypocrisy that characterize the vile Bush administration. What does Rice think "acting democratically means? Supporting Castro's mafia-controlled predecessor, Batista?! Isolating Cuba for nearly 5 decades in hopes of destroying its economy and its people?!
How can she even dare to speak about democracy as a member of an administration that has lied to mount an invasion of a sovereign country, willfully and repeatedly violated the rights of prisoners of war, conducted illegal domestic surveillance of ordinary American citizens, and which is busy trying to eviscerate an independent judiciary in the United States!?
We are already the laughing stock of Europe - does she think that this kind of idiocy is going to impress the Spanish?
