Manning better hope he has better luck with Cuban surgeons than Fidel. Have they found the body yet of the surgeon who operated on Fidel the first time?

I agree with teh Cuban artists and intellectuals insofar it is NONE of the business of folks with little knowledge of Cuba and its local institutions to make ignorant statements and 'calls to action'.

Although the intentions of the folks here in the US were good, it reveals that even leftists in usa have imperial mind-set- pushing national 'values' on others', particularly without good information/knowledge of ground.

Exactly right, anon. Thank you for your exemplary Revolutionary vigilence. How dare these Americans of African descent wander off the Coma-andante's plantation! The ingratitude! How greatly unfortunate it is that they exist beyond the reaches of the suitably enraged Afro-Cuban masses to teach them a thing or two about the nurturing treatment they receive under the benevolent and enlightened leadership of the Maximum Leader.
