Quotable


“Civil society needs to be domestically oriented, locally funded and patriotic. Dependence on foreign money undermines those objectives.”

“The United States needs to wean nongovernmental organizations off their long-term dependence on U.S. taxpayers.”

“While many disagree…about who is behind recent protests, most want their country’s political future to be its own.”

   – from a New York Times discussion of USAID democracy programs in Russia


“Cuba’s freedom is not a business, and it should not be a business, but it has been one for quite some time.”

   – author Zoe Valdes, in her blog
