Did I ever think I would be saying Thank you to Fidel Castro?

They need to pay attention to themselves, don't they Fidel? Once the dogs of war are unleashed there is no putting the genie back in the bottle, is there?

Talk to him sir and tell the young leader of North Korea there are better answers.

Much caution is far more prudent than careless experiments.

It all seems as though a frivolous pursuit. I don't know who needs to stand down first to end this escalation, the USA, South Korea or North Korea. I believe it is hopeless to expect North Korea to do anything less than self destruct.

The war games have not ceased on and near the Korean Peninsula for months now. There are huge numbers of lives at stake including those of the North Koreans. I do believe The West and possibly the world had high hopes for a modern, young leader in North Korea and we are finding disappointment to end decades of tensions between all parties.

Any engagement to war will provide more uncertainty than the international theater would expect. If the new leader of North Korea would make fools of The West by demanding Peace now to aid his people and advance their society, it would end all George Bushs in the future. If that doesn't occur I am worried about the possibility of more and more violence between nations and not less. If the USA ever has another aggressive Neocon in the White House such aggressions by so called "Rouge Countries" would provide impetus for stupidity beyond the imaginations of men.


Retired Cuban leader sternly cautions North Korea and US of dangers of nuclear war in first column in nearly nine months

Retired Cuban leader Fidel Castro published his first column in nearly nine months on Friday, urging both friends and foes to use restraint amid tensions on the Korean Peninsula.
In the brief piece published in Communist Party daily Granma and other official media, Castro warned of the impact that nuclear war could unleash in Asia and beyond. He said Havana has always been and will continue to be an ally to North Korea, but gently admonished it to consider the well-being of humankind.
"Now that you have demonstrated your technical and scientific advances, we remind you of your duty to the countries that have been your great friends, and it would not be fair to forget that such a war would affect ... more than 70% of the planet's population," he said.
Castro used stronger language in addressing Washington, saying that if fighting breaks out, President Barack Obama's government "would be buried by a flood of images that would present him as the most sinister figure in US history. The duty to avoid (war) also belongs to him and the people of the United States."...
