PREGUNTAS
Por qué, Adelaida, me tengo que morir
en esta selva
donde yo mismo alimenté
las fieras
donde puedo escuchar hasta mi voz
en el horrendo concierto de la calle.
Por qué aquí donde quisimos árboles
y crecieron enredaderas
donde soñamos ríos
y despertamos enfermos
en medio de pantanos.
En este lugar al que llegamos
niños, inocentes, tontos
y había instalada ya una trampa una ciénaga
con un cartel de celofán
que hemos roto aplaudiendo
a los tramposos.
Por qué me tengo que morir
no en mi patria
sino en las ruinas de este país
que casi no conozco.
Raúl Rivero

150000 cubanos han muerto tratando de huir de Cuba
Desde que Fidel Castro asumió el poder en 1959, siempre ha culpado de los males de la sociedad cubana al imperialismo norteamericano. Esa estrategia esta fallando, tanto para el consumo interno como para el externo, al punto que hoy el gobierno de la Habana ha llegado también a acusar a cualquier país latinoamericano o europeo que intente criticar la barbarie del gobierno taliban de Castro. Ellos nunca han asumido en toda la historia ninguna culpabilidad en el desastre que es Cuba. Siempre de todo culpaban y culpan principalmente al bloqueo norteamericano ( vea el articulo "Bloqueo¨), nunca al bloqueo al que obligó al pueblo cubano, el propio gobierno cubano.
Es por ellos, absolutamente por culpa del gobierno cubano, que los cubanos huyen por cualquier vía y hacia cualquier país, no importa si es Haití, no importa si es Suecia... nadie huye de la prosperidad y la libertad. Lo más cruel de todo esto es que según cálculos serios, han muerto 150 mil cubanos tratando de huir de Cuba por cualquier vía en los 40 años de dictadura.
Esa cifra repítala de nuevo en su mente, 150000 cubanos han muerto tratando de huir de Cuba ya sea en el mar, ya sea que los guardafronteras cubanos le disparaban o por cualquier otra vía. Y que nadie en el mundo hace nada, maldita sea... Da asco el mundo, el mundo es una vergüenza.
Será posible que exista alguna ley en el mundo que pueda estimular la salida de un país, si en ese país se vive dignamente, si en ese país existe total libertad de palabra, total libertad de organización, si en ese país no existe la represión y la asfixia económica y espiritual de todo un pueblo por un grupúsculo, que antes de 1959 no tenían donde caerse muertos e hicieron con la toma del poder el gran negocio de su vida, convirtiéndolos en la práctica en millonarios y asegurándoles ese bienestar por un periodo de mas de 40 años.
Se calcula que 600 mil cubanos gozan de todo el país, cifra esta compuesta por los miembros del gobierno, sus familiares, amigos, miembros de las fuerzas armadas y la policía política, mientras 12 millones de cubanos viven en la total indigencia.
Es por eso que pienso que el gobierno cubano en pleno debe de ser juzgado por un tribunal internacional, que lo menos que haga sea condenarlos a cadena perpetua, desde el mediocre Ministro de Relaciones exteriores hasta Fidel Castro, desde el inútil Carlos Lage hasta Raúl Castro. El gobierno taliban que lo único que repartió fue retórica, que lo único que aseguró fue la represión, que lo único que aseguro fue la destrucción del patrimonio nacional.
Es que ya desde antes que Castro llegara al poder, en la propia Sierra Maestra, subían las mulas con abastecimiento de la tienda mas cara de la Habana ¨El Encanto¨ y mientras la tropa de campesinos miserables e indigentes se moría de hambre, ellos no dejaban que nadie se acercara a la Comandancia porque a escondida, los comandantes comían la mejor comida, pan con queso, con guayaba, etc. Este sería el preludio de lo que seria después Cuba, una elite o grupúsculo viviendo como millonarios, mientras 12 millones viven como cerdos.
Un dato interesante:
Antes que tomara el poder, Fidel Castro nunca tenía dinero, su padre le mandaba 100 dólares mensuales para que vivieran, la esposa, el hijo y el, que incluso se graduó de derecho y no tuvo un solo caso que le diera al menos para mantener por un mes a su familia.
Es curioso que cuentan, que con los 100 dólares que le mando el padre en una ocasión, compró una colección completa de los discursos de Mussolini dejando de alimentar a su propia familia y teniendo la esposa que resolver como salir de aquella situación.
En aquel entonces, Fidel vivía en una casa de huéspedes en la calle L esquina 17 en el Vedado, Bernardo Viera amigo en aquel entonces cuenta:
Había periódicos viejos, colillas de cigarros en el suelo y la mesa, en un rincón cinco o seis piezas de ropa interior sucia, su guayabera no podía acumular mas sudor sobre la suciedad. Años después Bernardo Viera en el exilio expresó: Ahora cada vez que alguien que visita Cuba, me dice que esta sucia y abandonada, me parece que Fidel sencillamente ha extendido las dimensiones de aquella habitación a toda Cuba.
LIBRETA DE ABASTECIMIENTO DESDE HACE MAS DE 40 AÑOS
Fidel Castro y su gobierno, mantuvo y mantiene a la población con una libreta de abastecimiento, la misma durante mas de 40 años ha ofrecido, 6 libras de arroz por persona, unos gramos de chícharos y 4 libras de azúcar. Para las personas que no lo sepan esto se vende por mes. Es necesario aclarar que lo anteriormente expuesto solo es para Ciudad de la Habana... para el resto de las provincias es mucho menos

600 dead in besieged Iraqi city - but marine commander claims victims
mostly insurgents
Rory McCarthy in Baghdad and Julian Borger in Washington
Monday April 12, 2004
The Guardian
The United States last night robustly defended its controversial siege
of Falluja which has cost the lives of more than 600 people over the
past week, by claiming most of those who died were militants picked
off with precision by US marines.
As a tense ceasefire held in the turbulent city west of Baghdad and an
international hostage crisis persisted across Iraq, the US marine
commander in charge of the siege of Falluja claimed 95% of those
killed were legitimate targets.
The death toll in Falluja has sparked widespread international concern
and has led to condemnation by the US-appointed Iraqi governing
council.
Yesterday, the director of the town's general hospital, Rafie
al-Issawi, said the vast majority of the dead were women, children and
the elderly.
But when asked about the victims numbers, US marine Lieutenant Colonel
Brennan Byrne said: "What I think you will find is 95% of those were
military age males that were killed in the fighting. The marines are
trained to be precise in their firepower ... The fact that there are
600 goes back to the fact that the marines are very good at what they
do," he said.
The figure of 600 was gathered from four clinics around the city and
from Falluja general hospital, which have all been taking in bodies,
said al-Issawi. Bodies were also being buried in two football fields.
"We have reports of an unknown number of dead being buried in people's
homes without coming to the clinics," Mr Issawi said.
Asked about the number of Iraqi casualties in Falluja, Brigadier
General Mark Kimmitt, spokesman for the US military in Iraq, repeated
that marines were "tremendously precise" in their operations and
suggested any civilian deaths were caused by insurgents hiding among
them.
At least 50 US soldiers have also been killed over the past week, with
another 10 over the Easter weekend. Nearly a third of Falluja's
200,000 population fled the city during the weekend lull in fighting.
A British civilian, Gary Teeley, who was kidnapped in the southern
city of Nassiriya, was released yesterday, and there were reports last
night that eight other foreign hostages including three Pakistanis and
two Turks had been freed.
Several other foreigners, including one US contractor and three
Japanese civilians, were still being held by their captors.
The bodies of two dead westerners dressed in civilian clothes were
shown on Arabic television. Reports from Bonn suggested they were
German private security guards.
US officials persevered with ceasefire talks with Sunni mil itants
despite the shooting down of a US Apache helicopter over the western
Baghdad suburb of Abu Ghraib, killing its two-man crew.
The US civilian administrator, Paul Bremer, appealed for insurgents in
Falluja to hold their fire long enough for members of the Iraqi
governing council to enter the Sunni stronghold for negotiations. But
he insisted: "We will not negotiate over hostages."
The ceasefire calls also appeared to be aimed at freeing US troops and
resources for a parallel running battle with radical Shia militias,
after it became evident that US-led coalition troops were being
overwhelmed by the two-front conflict. It emerged yesterday that an
entire Iraqi battalion had refused to fight with US troops and had
returned to barracks, torpedoing any prospects of the US pulling out
any of its 135,000 troops and passing on their duties to an Iraqi
force.
Mr Bremer confirmed that the 620-strong battalion of newly trained
Iraqi soldiers had refused to fight after members of the unit were
attacked while passing through a Shia district of Baghdad.
According to Major General Paul Eaton, who is overseeing their
training, the Iraqi soldiers had told him: "We did not sign up to
fight Iraqis."
The report quoted an unnamed senior US officer as saying as many as a
quarter of the new Iraqi security forces had "quit, changed sides, or
otherwise failed to perform their duties".
Mr Bremer played down the significance of the issue yesterday. "I
don't think it's a significant portion at all," he told ABC
television.
The surge in fighting has led to calls for an increase in the numbers
of US troops in Iraq. "It's obvious that we're paying a heavy price, I
think, for not having had enough troops there from the beginning,"
said John McCain, a Republican senator.
President George Bush insisted that political sovereignty would be
handed over by a June 30 deadline.
"Obviously I pray every day there's less casualty. But I know what
we're doing in Iraq is right," the president said, after spending
Easter Day with troops in Texas. Tony Blair made a similar pledge of
resolve yesterday.

Iraq: one year on
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
'The US is enslaving Iraqis today'
One year on Arab papers see little cause for celebration
Monday April 12, 2004
The Guardian
Gulf Times
Editorial, Qatar, April 11
"A year ago, after Saddam Hussein's regime collapsed, nobody in the US
administration would have dreamt that the first anniversary of that
event would coincide with heavy fighting in Iraq in which hundreds
have died, including around 50 American troops...
"This week has seen the first concerted taking of hostages from
coalition countries and many westerners are probably unaware of the
epidemic of kidnapping which has taken root in Iraq since the
'liberation' ... Sadly, this lawlessness has been allowed to flourish
in the 'new Iraq' and has terrorised the population ... Nobody is
going to build a free and prosperous Iraq by creating a mountain of
corpses and nobody will win honour or glory by slaughtering the weak
and innocent."
Arab News
Editorial, Saudi Arabia, April 11
"Shortly before Saddam's statue in the heart of Baghdad was brought
crashing to the ground, the Americans made the first of a string of
elementary mistakes which now, a year later, find the smiling
liberators transformed into grim-faced occupiers. It was a simple
error ... A single American soldier secured the Stars and Stripes
around the head [of the statue]... Iraqis had already been given
grounds to suspect that this victory had not been won for them ... but
for the advancement of US power over Iraqi oil and the region as a
whole ...
"Maybe if, as they began their work a year ago, top officials in the
Provisional Authority had done some urgent analysis of the problems
they faced and the perceptions and suspicions that they had to
overcome, it might have been different. But the Bush White House
reckoned it already knew all the answers."
Gulf News
Editorial, United Arab Emirates, April 11
"A year after it took control of Iraq and the collapse of the Saddam
regime, the US is back to square one. Security has not been restored
and nor is there a government exercising a real role. There appears to
be no political blueprint looming on the horizon either. A solution to
this problem ... cannot be achieved by [the US] using its formidable
arsenal to bomb cities and civilians. There must be a political
solution as soon as possible. And there will be no solution without
the involvement of the United Nations, Arab countries and Europe,
which must be involved in charting out the future of Iraq with the
direct participation of the Iraqis themselves.
"The US must not monopolise this solution as it is trying to do now
... Washington had promised the Iraqis that it would rid them of the
Saddam regime. Instead, the US is enslaving them today."
Hassan Fattah
Daily Star, Lebanon, April 10
"People have been modelling Iraq's occupation after those of Germany
and Japan. That may be the problem; neither model offers an
appropriate sense of what is going wrong and why ... In two decades'
time, in fact, historians may instead compare Iraq to revolutionary
France, which after shaking off the royal family plunged into dark
days of terror before emerging a true democracy...
"The best news is that Saddam is gone ... But Iraqis also face ever
darkening days ... Most everyone agrees that things will only grow
worse before they get better in Iraq, as every force operating there
seeks to make its mark to divide and conquer. Hopefully this reign of
terror will last for a much shorter period [than in France]."
