I saw those pictures this morning. I'm sure the link on Phil's splendid website, will make many more amazed at the beauty of Cuba. The sad case
is how much more beautiful this country will be when change arrives.
The revolution has destroyed a beautiful country
The enviromental damage that we will find in later years will shock us

The enviromental damage that we will find in later years will shock us
Unlike the environmental damage capitalism has wrought in the US and the world... which is actually threatening the survival of the human race.
Meanwhile the World Wildlife Fund has said that Cuba is the only country in the world practicing "sustainable development."
Sustainable development, according to environmentalists, is no development. They got it right.
Actually my GWU friend, sustainability just means that growth will be able to continue into the future, and not just for the short-term.
And your idea that "they got it right" based on your definition is plain wrong. Cuba has been growing faster than just about everyone else in the region since the special period. According to CIA data, since 2003, Cuba's GDP has grown considerably faster (avg. 4.8%) than all the countries I just checked - Mexico (2.7%), Brazil (3.2%), Chile (4.2%)Jamaica (1.3%), Dominica (1.3%), Bolivia (3.9%), Guatemala (3.7%), etc. etc.
On Planet Leftside, Cuba's economy has been growing faster than just about everyone else in the region.

Not on my planet. On the CIA's planet. Or are they in the business of lying in order to make Cuba look good now?
