Ahmadinejad & Fidel Castro
HAVANA - Mantan Presiden Kuba Fidel Castro mengatakan, Iran nampaknya tidak akan berperang dengan Amerika Serikat (AS). Pernyataan Castro muncul setelah dirinya bertemu dengan Presiden Iran Ahmadinejad di Kuba beberapa hari yang lalu.

"Saya yakin, Iran tidak akan melakukan sebuah tindakan yang akan menciptakan peperangan," ujar Castro seperti dikutip Xinhua, Sabtu (14/1/2012).

"Saya mengenal Presiden Iran, dia tampak tenang dan tidak agresif. Saya juga yakin, Iran memiliki kemampuan dalam menanggapi agresi AS," tambahnya.

Castro juga mengatakan bahwasannya ketegangan hubungan antara Paman Sam dan Iran akan menciptakan masalah yang rumit di Timur Tengah dan juga Asia Tengah.

Saat kedua musuh dari AS itu bertemu, Ahmadinejad mengutarakan kegembiraannya ketika menyaksikan kondisi Castro yang tampak sehat. Iran juga berpidato di Universitas Havana di Kuba dan mengecam kapitalisme.

"Saya sangat senang melihat kondisi Komandan Castro yang sehat," ujar Ahmadinejad yang berbicara lewat seorang penerjemah.

Fidel Castro yang berkuasa selama lima dekade di Kuba menyerahkan kekuasaannya kepada adiknya sendiri, Raul Castro pada 2006 lalu karena kesehatannya yang memburuk. Meski demikian, Fidel masih dianggap sebagai figur yang sangat kuat dan berpengaruh di Kuba.

Hingga saat ini, Castro juga selalu menyuarakan komentar anti-ASnya dan menantang Paman Sam. Castro juga menjadi figur idola bagi pemimpin negara-negara Amerika Latin lainnya, seperti Hugo Chavez di Venezuela, Evo Morales di Bolivia, dan Daniel Ortega di Nikaragua.(AUL)

Cuban-Americans will turn out in droves in November to vote Republican — no matter who the nominee is — and prevent President Barack Obama from winning a second term, prominent Miami broadcaster and community activist Carolos Perez tells Newsmax.

“We cannot tolerate, under no circumstances, four more years of President Obama. His ideas are socialist. Look at his policies, Obamacare,” Perez said.

“All over the country, not only Cuban-Americans, the anti-Obama feeling is so big that we’ll neutralize the inertia within the Republican Party. At the zero hour, everybody will back the Republican candidate,” Perez said during the exclusive interview with Newsmax.TV.

I seem to be developing a specialty of chronicling dictators and their ridiculous propaganda. A while back, I mined Fidel Castro’s silly newspaper columns, which are not published in an actual newspaper, for their unintended hilarity. Sample craziness: Castro devoted an entire column to denigrating George W. Bush’s “sinister idea of converting food into fuel’’ - biofuels - which El Jefe predicted would trigger pestilence, famine, and worse.

More recently I spent a couple of weeks listening to China Radio International, Beijing’s answer to the BBC and the Voice of America. Sample idiocy: “Thirty-five percent of the binding targets’’ of the country’s National Human Rights Action Plan “had been met ahead of time or exceeded.’’ Bravo.

Imagine my delight upon learning that Rodong Sinmun (“Newspaper of the Workers’’), the official publication of the Central Committee of the Workers’ Party of North Korea, had suddenly become available in English, on the Internet. Rodong is like Pravda in the old USSR, the journal of record for the country’s ruling clique.

Oh, frabjous day! What perfect timing. We are traversing a brief North Korean Moment in world history, as 29-year-old Kim Jong-un, accedes to power after the untimely death of the incumbent, his father, Kim Jong-il. Jong-il, of course was the son of the long-reigning Kim Il-sung. Let’s face it, these are people who make Newt Gingrich look like an Eagle Scout heading for his first national jamboree.

By coincidence, I am traversing a brief Juche moment of my own. (“Juche’’ is a catchall term describing North Korea’s ideology, and even applies to the modern calendar. This year, for instance, is Juche 101, dating 101 years from the birth of the first Beloved Leader, Kim Il-sung.)

I just read my first Inspector O mystery novel, set in North Korea - not bad - and tried like the devil to appreciate Adam Johnson’s ambitious new novel about North Korea, “The Orphan Master’s Son.’’ In a gushy review, The New York Times let slip that “Orphan Master’’ was “long-winded.’’ Too much wind for me, I fear. I read only halfway through.
