Cuba rips 'subversive' U.S. plan

HAVANA, Cuba (AP) -- Cuba's Communist Party on Monday harshly criticized the U.S. government for creating a post to oversee a transition to democracy on the Caribbean island, accusing American officials of intruding in the country's domestic business.

U.S. President George W. Bush "once again meddles in a rude manner in the internal affairs of Cuba by naming one of his men to publicly coordinate subversive actions against the island," the Granma newspaper said in a signed editorial.

Caleb McCarry, a veteran congressional staff expert on Latin America, was appointed last week to the new post aimed at preparing for a peaceful transition to democracy in Cuba.

The move was criticized by Cuban Foreign Minister Felipe Perez Roque on Friday and by Cuban Parliament speaker Ricardo Alarcon on Saturday.

2. What?
"...for creating a post to oversee a transition to democracy..."

WTF???!!! They have more of a democracy than we do. Cuba doesn't want US imperialism and capitalist domination, and so the US cannot tolerate this. Disgusting.

3. The US is a textbook case for
a Co-Dependent or a severely ill dysfunctional person.

Here's what a co-dependent does: the more they feel their lives are spinning out of control, the more they feel the urge to reach out and control others.

As chaos increases in their lives, they ignore this and focus intensely on individuals outside themselves. "Control is of paramount importance." They usually find alcoholics or substance abusers and try to run their lives. It's a fairly fruitless effort.

Sound familiar, Washington?
