Yes, news revolving the Summit of the Americas and the reactions afterward deserves two entries.
Former President of Cuba Fidel Castro has fought back against President Barack Obama's misinterpretation of what his brother Raul Castro,currently in power, according to the Los Angeles Times. Raul owned up and said something that Fidel could and never will admit: "We could be wrong.We admit it.We are human beings." This he said along with Cuba being open to discussing everything, from political prisoners, to human rights issues, and freedom of the press.
Everyone now stands in awe of the younger brother who they thought would never detach from his predecessor's tight grasp on the island and immobile mind set. However, one cannot ever get too comfortable or too certain, because soon after, the former president released a statement on his own blog saying that "without a doubt, the president (Obama) misinterpreted Raul's remarks." Fidel went on to say that his brother's remarks were meant to "show courage and confidence in the principles of the revolution." Does this mean that he is being delusional after years of tyranny and keeping it old school? Or is Raul faking us out by that statement where he recognized that possible errors could have been made? ...like taking away land, killing, limiting liberty, oppressing homosexuals (watch Before Night Falls to witness some of that,) and so on...
Whatever the next step is, let's hope that Raul is being truthful and sincere, because after all, he and his brother are "human."
