FIDEL CASTRO AND TIM JOHNSON: A CONTRAST THAT SPEAKS VOLUMES

Fidel - to the Left-wing, a benevolent and fearless and stallwart defender of worker's rights and economic justice and the defense of the Third World from the evil and greedy "American Empire" - is obviously dying, and yet his government won't tell anyone the truth abouty his illness.

Senator Tim Johnson - who may be only 1/100th of the US Senate, and only from a small state, but in whose health and well-being hangs the hopes of most of his party - is obviously very ill, yet we know everything about his condition.

There is simply more truth and transparency in the "evil American empire" than in the utopian Cuba. This says everything, and should instruct all thse who still admire Castro and socialist Cuba that they are totally wrong. Fidel is a tyrant and Cuba hell on Earth. The sooner he dies the better it is for millions of people. I pray that Fidel passes soon and that Johnson gets better.
