Cuba, Nation of Peace


The U.S. government is determined to lie about the reality of Cuba and its principled position in the fight against international terrorism, which Cuba has maintained since its revolutionary triumph. Through the use of arbitrary lists, Washington pursues political domination and obstructs the right of the Cuban people to pursue development and its right of well-being. The U.S. also reinforces the effects of the immoral economic, commercial and financial blockade that it imposed for six decades in an effort to force Cuba to surrender.

The secretary of state’s decision to remove Cuba from the group of countries that do not fully cooperate with U.S. anti-terrorist efforts exposes the contradiction and political manipulation of the U.S. government in this matter. The secretary of state has a duty to remove Cuba from the list of states that allegedly sponsor terrorism.

Cuba and its people have been victims of terrorism sponsored, protected, financed and organized by the U.S. government. Some3,478 Cubans have died as a result, and another 2,099 have been injured.

There is a growing worldwide demand for the United States to end this injustice. Placing Cuba on spurious lists without any basis whatsoever causes extraordinary harm to the Cuban people as a result of third-party intimidation.

Cuba maintains its categorical commitment against all terrorist acts, methods and practices, has never participated in the organization, financing or execution of terrorist acts, is party to 19 international conventions related to terrorism and was the fifth country to ratify all of them.

The International Relations Commission of the National Assembly of People’s Power of the Republic of Cuba joins the international outcry and demands that the president of the United States use of his authority to amend this injustice.

Cuba does not sponsor terrorism. Cuba is a country of peace and solidarity.

I began contributing to Watching America in 2009 and continue to enjoy working with its dedicated translators and editors. Latin America, where I lived and worked for over four years, is of special interest to me. Presently a retiree, I live in Morgantown, West Virginia, where I enjoy the beauty of this rural state and traditional Appalachian fiddling with friends. Working toward the mission of WA, to help those in the U.S. see ourselves as others see us, gives me a sense of purpose.
