#1 Well, now, a clear alignment is emerging: Zapatero with John Kerry, and Fidel Castro with Zapatero. Wonder if Fidel is one of those "important foreign leaders" who told Kerry, "you've got to win this thing".

Gawd, what a farce...

#4 Ya know, the only time I've heard about Kerry meeting with foreign leaders was when he negotiated the "people's peace treaty" with North Vietnam.

#5 Is Fidel trying to be a hegemon? He gets cozy with Chavez in Venezuela (or vice versa) and now he calls for all the Latin American troops(*) to come home.

I wish I new what it was Fidel had to offer to anyone in Latin America, except cigars.(**)

(*) None of whom are Cuban (excepting Cuban-Americans, natch).

(**) And I heard all the good cigar rollers left Cuba years ago.

#7 I smoked Cuban cigars while in Korea. Glorious after dinner with good Brit beer.
Hurry up and die already Fidel.

#8 Note to Jose: When Fidel is aligned with you, you are on the WRONG side. Just thought you might want to know that itâs not too late to come back.

#9 Its a brilliant move by Castro. Once again, he just hi-jacked another issue and inserted himself as the voice of the Latin American poor man. While his bit won't play on the streets of Indianapolis but it will resonate in Lima.
