A very brave LttE in the Miami Herald/ el Nuevo Herald: Who will decide Cuba's future?

Who will decide Cuba's future?
http://www.miamiherald.com/456/story/294250.html

I was in Cuba on a humanitarian mission while President Bush delivered his latest Cuba policy address.

There are no words to express the disbelief, sadness and, in many instances, laughter I saw in so many sectors of Cuban society in reaction to the speech.

As a Cuban American who made the difficult decision to visit the country of my birth and the land of my ancestors, I was appalled that Bush could be so detached from Cuban realities and could deliver such a misguided and arrogant speech. If the administration's goal was to try to influence or facilitate Cuba's evolution into a more-democratic society, this rhetoric at a crucial juncture was counterproductive and damaging -- not only to the process but to the image of America abroad.

Having read national and international responses to Bush's speech, I feel a sense of relief that this new Bush policy continues to be rejected by thinking and caring people all over the world and by the majority of Cuban Americans living not only in South Florida but around the globe.

1. But Bush Is Detached From ALL Aspects of Reality, and All People

including his parents, wife, children and siblings. The arrogance is also classic for the sociopath.

That is the nature of his personality (disorder).
