The Truth Hurts

In light of the evidence presented by George of The Real Cuba on no less than 2 television shows tonight - A Mano Limpia (local) and FOX's Hannity and Colmes about the criminal condition of Cuban hospitals for, you know, Cubans, I present to you this dandy of a letter to the editor by Mr. Al Stola of beautiful Sunrise (home of Sawgrass Mills Mall and your Florida Panthers hockey team):

Cuban aid to Bolivia

The Oct. 7 article Doctors in the shadow of Che reports that Cuba has sent more than 800 doctors to Bolivia and that it will have financed the construction of 44 hospitals by year's end. Of course, there will always be skeptics when it comes to Cuba's humanism. However, as one Cuban doctor said, ``We give the most precious gift, healthcare, without barriers or frontiers based on color or wealth or status.''

Compare this to what the richest nation in the world is implementing -- death, destruction and chaotic conditions worldwide. While spending billions on war and giveaways to the rich, the U.S. Congress can't even agree on healthcare for poor children.

AL STOLA, Sunrise

"Of course, there will always be skeptics", says Mr. Stola. Of course, there will always be those that either turn a blind eye or just don't see the truth. All those wonderful doctors Cuba exports to countries like Bolivia and Venezuela? It's castro's way of exporting his poison via superficially noble means. But forget about that...

Just imagine if those doctors could stay home and take care of their own? Then again, with the criminally deplorable conditions of the hospitals and the next-to-nothing pay doctors get in Cuba, why would they turn down an offer to get the hell out of hell?
