Jorge of The Real Cuba nails it:
How would Mexico feel?
Mexico is currently going through a crisis due to the spread of the swine-flu.
More than 100 people have died; businesses and schools have had to shut down; people are living in fear; tourism is suffering, no doubt it is a complete disaster.
All countries that are in a condition to do so, have offered their support to help the Mexican people at their time of crisis.
But, how would Mexico feel if instead of support to help them get rid of the virus, other countries tried to make it harder to eradicate?
I ask this question, because for 50 years that is exactly what all of Latin America, and most other countries in the world, have been doing with the "human-virus" that a gang of swine brought to Cuba 50 years ago.
Tens of thousands of Cubans have died; thousands of businesses have shut down; the economy has been utterly destroyed; millions of Cubans are living in fear; millions have had to flee in order to survive.
No wonder we react the way that we react, when we see countries, politicians, organizations and so called "celebrities," offering their blind support to the "virus" that has destroyed the Cuban nation.
After all, Cubans are human beings also.
Their suffering has been ignored by our so called "brothers" in Latin America and by the rest of the world for too long.
It is time to eradicate the virus that has affected Cuba for 50 years, and let Cubans live a free, happy and healthy life.
They have the same right to do so, as any other people in the world.
