“They have the capacity to do all sorts of things for the benefit of their people. But their system demands production for war, not peace. As a result, there is extensive wasting of natural resources. Look at their military budget. What they could do with this money for schools, industry, homes! What good it could mean for the world!” – Fidel Castro, a speech given to his people right after the Bay of Pigs failure.

I’d like to know what Castro thinks about the U.S. versus Iraq situation.

I have great respect for Castro, he reminds me of an estranged uncle.
