a bombing by any other name ...
It is telling that the Bush administration is at pains to describe these bombings as "homicide bombings" rather than "suicide bombings" to focus on the victims of these "attacks" as they are called by al Jazeera, rather than on the "martyrs" as they are called by the Palestinians.
If the "bombings" were happening in the U.S.A. they would be called "terrorist bombings" and the administration would NOT be negotiating with the terrorists to achieve peace, even if the leader of the dissidents was elected.
I was trying to imagine what the American response would be to pro-Cuban anti-Amercan dissidents "homicide bombing" in Florida to achieve a political objective like getting the U.S. out of Gitmo.
And if Castro wouldn't condemn those bombings by loose factions of Cuban civilians ... though not of any Cuban military army.
I think the Americans would "liberate" the Cuban people by dismantling Castro's terrorist regime, and establish a freedom loving western democracy for the Cuban people, who could then have their own MLB franchise and win the World Series.
