The real subject of analysis, I believe, is that the isolation of Cuba is probably the main issue that has kept the Castro regime in power over the last 50 years, that continues to impede the political and economic development of that island nation and its full integration into the world economy. It is a failed policy on the part of the United States, and should be abandoned.
The world suffered a great loss when he was killed, almost 50 years ago. Not only did we lose him, but the killers got away with it, gained power, and ushered in a new age in which our freedoms and our values have been tragically diminished. Hear his words and reflect upon them.
All politicians talk out of both sides of their mouths, all the time.

“Explosive” Penguin With “Tremendous Speed” Escapes In Toyko
Tokyo is the home of the world’s latest animal celebrity: An “explosive” penguin equipped with “tremendous speed” who escaped the Tokyo Sea Life Park. The unnamed, one-year-old Humboldt penguin has already given newspapers a reason to cite Madagascar and snicker. According to the BBC the penguin busted out on Sunday, was last seen making its way to Tokyo Bay.
The AFP reports that the penguin “scaled a sheer rock face to escape from a Tokyo zoo. As one official at the aquarium said, ”Of course it can’t fly, but sometimes wildlife have an ‘explosive’ power when frightened by something. Maybe it ran up the rock after being surprised… It’s a bit of a struggle to catch it when it is swimming, because it swims at a tremendous speed.”

The scary thing is how many of you out there probably agree with him. Even though THERE IS NO PROOF that Iran is working on a nuclear bomb, even though, as signatory to all relevant international treaties, they are legally entitled to develop nuclear energy for power generation in their country, even though IEEA inspectors are regularly allowed into the country and its nuclear facilities, according to Santorum it is OK for the US and Israel to simply murder Iranian nuclear engineers in the street. About a half-dozen Iranian scientists and technicians have so far been killed by assassins in the last 3 years.
Is this something to celebrate?
What goes around, comes around. Remember when it does come around again.
