IMHO, the labor of love Walter Lippmann performs for Cuba via Cuba News is a good thing. Yoshie
I suppose. I just object to the habit he has of putting a plus where the US State Department or the WSJ editorial page puts a minus. Just because the WSJ editorial page condemns repression in China, we are not obligated to whitewash that repression. You did the same thing with respect to the bus driver's strike in Iran, searching high and low for evidence that they were being bankrolled by the CIA. This is the Workers World Party approach to politics and really quite reactionary, even if put forward in the name of socialism. Since you seem far more interested in Amin's multipolar triangulated bloc formation on a new wave of global restructuring than socialism at this point, maybe it is besides the point to criticize you. I would prefer the Yoshie of old but as Doug pointed out that Yoshie seems gone forever.
