Letter to a dear friend

Mandela, an anti-apartheid legend who spent 27 years in prison, turned 92 on Sunday as Cuba marked the internationally recognized Nelson Mandela Day on his birthday.
The leader of the Cuban Revolution refers to the last years of Mandela's imprisonment when the then-ruling Apartheid regime turned South Africa into an instrument of war against Cuban and Angolan internationalist fighters that were advancing toward the then occupied Namibia.
2. Nelson Mandela´s thoughts about Cuba
3 Nelson Mandela´s thoughts about the fascist Miami exile cubans

Sometimes people become obsessed with leaders (and the IMAGE of a leader) and trying to convince them they are capable of evil is like trying to convince a born-again Christian that the bible is a fairy tale. You dont have to believe in a god to be a TRUE-BELIEVER, there are plenty of secular ones as well. GOD help us all! hahahahahahahaha

"Sometimes people become obsessed with leaders" Agree

[nicolaselgriego]

I guess most people need to believe in something or someone. Some turn to religion others make heroes or idols of human beings. And they defend them to the end. Its a human weakness I guess, but one that I hope can be overcome because it is the food on which despots feed. Its healthier to see men in a complete light , with their virtues AND their sins. I have YET to find a human worthy of such worship and idolatry.

@nicolaselgriego I agree,, thats why most of us  sees peoples acts and not what they say ,, There can be a huge difference in theory and practice :)

[nicolaselgriego]

That is WHY I dont trust any institutions OR idolize any MEN. Not the Pope nor Fidel Castro, both are men with faults. And the longer they are in power the more corrupt they become. Neither one is a saint and I am sure niether is free from corruption.

Oliver Stone made a documentery (which i havent seen yet) about the South America ,, particular Venezuelas Chavez, He talked with Lula, Morales, Raul Castro and other leaders. According to one interview with O.S .. What they all have in common (about usa) is they want to be treated EQUAL , Its good with talks etc,, but all nations has to be equal in the discussion

[elektra1968]

"I believe in MAN! We have control over our lives. "

Exactly ,, thats the main reason of the revolution, They want control over their lives, they want control over their island, Thats why Texaco and United Fruit were the first to be kicked out of the country.. Cuba has allways said that they are ready to talk with any usa president about EVERYTHING on EQUAL bases,, But none has been willing to do so.. Not even the colourful Obama ,, Dont that tell you something?

[elektra1968]

I saw you type about the Strong Catholic faith,, And i wonder what faith did you mean.. The one in the books or in practice?

Besides you talk about Fidel as he is still in power. He did what he wanted to be done and it took him many years. The only interest now is that Cuba wont be the usa brothel again, You cant compare the Pope who is running one institution of fairytales with a man who acted to educate the ppl and give them healthcare.. :) You need to know what Cuba was before

[nicolaselgriego]

Religions are evil. They put men to thinking in solutions that are not in their hands. Of course the catholic is full of pedophiles and hypocrites, I have no use for it. I believe in MAN! We have control over our lives.

[elektra1968]

I it was proven that religion institutions is hiding paedophiles, even move them to other towns so they can work more free and spread Gods,,,,, ahum ... love

Would you band them as hypocrite .. dismiss them and their right to spread information??
