U.S. imperialism includes a military base on Cuba and 10 of thousands of troops in Korea still. All of these years the U.S. has claimed that Cuba's militancy was evidence of "dictatorship" and all the while the U.S. has had a military base ON Cuba. The level of mendacity of the "story" rationalizing U.S. foreign policy is world historic. Charles Brown >>> Yoshie Furuhashi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 04/09/99 11:07PM >>> Someone (Jim Devine?) on PEN-L mentioned the US government's treatment of Japanese-Americans during the WW2 (herding them into concentration camps). In contrast, I must say that the Yugo government looks far better, esepcially given the fact that Japanese-Americans (unlike the KLA) were in no way engaged in armed aggressions against the US government. Is the US government now putting into effect the proposal to transfer 20,000 Albanian refugees to the Guantanamo detention camp? A replay of American generosity toward Haitians during another humanitarian intervention! Will there be any left-over socialist Albanians who wear Che Guevara T-shirts + sing the Internationale to spite Americans at the US Naval Base? No saviour from on high delivers No faith have we in NATO or America Our own right hand the chains must shiver Chains of hatred, greed and fear Or will America screen refugees to make sure no undesirable will land on the US-occupied territory, even in Cuba?
