Cuba: How to defend the Cuban revolution

26/04/2003, Following its "victory" in Iraq, North American imperialism, headed by the Bush/Rumsfeld duo, wants to use its "triumph" to strengthen its dominant world position. The invasion of Iraq was in the first place for oil and also formed part of a much broader plan of imposing its domination in other areas of the planet. This is now seen in the threats being made against Syria and the brazen intervention it has made in Cuba.
Celso Calfullan, Socialismo Revolucionario, Chile
