Just days after Cuban dictator Fidel Castro required emergency surgery to treat severe internal bleeding, the Bush administration seized the opportunity to send a message directly to the Cuban people.Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice tonight broadcast a message to the communist island, calling on it to pursue democracy and promising American support in doing so.
"All Cubans who desire peaceful democratic change can count on the support of the United States," she said. "We encourage the Cuban people to work at home for positive change, and we stand ready to provide you with humanitarian assistance, as you begin to chart a new course for your country."
Oh, by all means, move right in... after all, we've done so well with that approach in Iraq....
