Cuba resists

As the saying goes, “Everything changes and nothing changes.” That is Cuba’s response to the Obama administration’s normalizing relations with it. The Castro government makes a mockery of this by arresting and silencing activists in its latest crackdown.

The United States claims that it will continue to press for human rights on the island, but the Castro brothers are having a good laugh on us. Step up to the coffee counter in Little Havana and have the pleasure of saying, “We told you so” to those who want to forget this terrorist dictatorship’s history.
