Send an e-mail to Fidel Castro!

Here’s the address: getwellfidel@hotmail.com.

The poor tyrant tripped and fell Oct. 20, breaking his right arm and right knee. And gosh, so few of us had a chance to send our wishes.

Well, now we can! Send Fidel something to read while he lies around one of his Havana villas in that GI Joe costume and matching arm and leg casts. Give him your best!

He’s probably dreaming of the three young Cuban men, Lorenzo, Barbaro and Jorge, whom he executed April 11th of last year for trying to hijack a ferry boat to freedom. Or maybe he’s reading the intercepted mail of the scores of journalists, librarians and dissidents he sent to stinking prisons around the same time.

Let’s give him something else to occupy his addled mind.

Boot-licker. The e-mail address was set up by Walter Lippmann, a personality worshipper who hopes Fidel Castro continues his deadly oppression forever. (Lippmann’s motto: "Be polite to your slavemaster," or something like that.)

You don’t have to be a boot-licker like Lippmann to send an e-mail. Hey, outside Cuba, the Internet is a free country. So drop Fidel a line, and don’t hold back.

After you e-mail, please let Babalu Blog know what sort of eloquence you’ve sent to the dopey despot. The Babalu folks want to post all the Comandante-grams in one place.

Calm down Michael Rodd. I think you must be new to the internet. Sometimes people are hard to understand, especially if you're reading in a foreign language. You should wait a while before SHOUTING at them.

Frank is not a friend of Fidel. Frank does not approve of Fidel's actions as a dictator. Frank is making a joke about Fidel. Fidel is bad, but he is also funny.

To clarify everything: Abajo Fidel!

I was a teenager in 1958 when Fidel's troops swept into Havana and routed the new york mafia and Batista, their whore from power, I cheered Viva Fidel!!! the mob had useed money to buy and pay for our congress, they bought and paid for a president too, Viva Fidel!
in 1956 Fidel asked America for help.....and was refused because so many in congress was on the mafia payroll....now we have seen fifty yrs of horible foreign policy that has only hurt the beautiful cuban people. Fidel Castro is the greatest hero in the western hemisphere, he turned to Nikita Krushev rather than see his loyal soldiers die, this was the worst screw-up in American foreign policy in a hundred yrs....in case you don't know it, Nikita Krushev was the man who crafted the defense of Stalingrad in WWII, he jumped at the idea of having a base in the Americas, as I remember, it was democrats that gave it to him.Viva Fidel

I remember Fidel Castro promising free elections in 1959 and 1960. It's almost 50 years later, and he's never allowed a free election. Even when he stepped aside, did he allow a free vote for Cuba's next leader? No. He personally selected his brother to keep the totalitarian police state running.

Castro knew that, after 1963, if he ever allowed Cubans to freely elect their government, he would lose and he would be put on trial for mass murders and false imprisonment.

Today, Cubans still live in a prison, and you, Michael, lick the boots of the man who keeps Cuba in chains. No wonder you loved Khruschev. He also promised freedom, but he made sure half the world could neither choose their leaders nor speak their minds.
