Whilst the messages may resemble the "Voice of America" and I for one
would not wish to support that particular approach, the following is
worth remembering!
"In Germany the Nazis came for the communists and I didn't speak up
because I was not a communist. Then they came for the Jews and I didn't
speak up because I was not a Jew. Then they came for the trade unionists
and I didn't speak up because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came
for the Catholics and I was a Protestant so I didn't speak up. Then they
came for me... By that time there was no one to speak up for anyone."
Martin Niemoller.
And paraphrasing someone else, For tyranny to suceed all it needs is for
good people to do nothing.
However valid the reasons for Castro's revolution, its perpetuation by
tyranny shouldnot go unprotested.
