 Sham in Havana © ABIP 1999
Although the King, president and dignitaries from Spain, various presidents from Portugal and Latin America, and members of the media have not yet arrived in Havana for the IX Ibero-American Summit, November 15-16, the customary game of make-believe and creative crowd control has already been set in motion.
The avalanche of false statistics, accomplishments and myths decorating the façade of the worst regime in the history of the Americas is being officially repeated in Cuba for national and international consumption.
Chile and Argentina are in disagreement with Spain’s desire to prosecute Pinochet for the alleged murder of Spanish citizens in Chile, while refusing to consider the prosecution of Castro for the execution of Spanish citizens in Cuba and his complicity in the murder of Spaniards on their own territory.

 John Paul II and Cuba by Tad Szulc, AMERICA Dec. 11, 1999   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
The events last month, when the visiting king of Spain, the presidents of Portugal, Brazil and Panama, and a half-dozen Latin American foreign ministers met with the dissidents in an unprecedented fashion, demonstrated how Castro as well as the Clinton administration had underestimated the pope's long-range political vision and his keen sense of diplomacy.
This year's Havana summit, however, was intended to glorify and truly legitimize the Castro oeuvre in the eyes of the world, what with the attendance by most Latin American presidents, the king and the queen of Spain (who had never before set foot in Fidelista Cuba) and the president of Portugal.
The church's growing political standing in Cuba was further recognized when King Juan Carlos, his prime minister, José María Aznar, Portugal's president, Jorge Sampaio, and Brazil's president, Fernando Enrique Cardoso, held separate meetings with Cardinal Ortega to review the situation.

 FRANCIA
In the threatment here, "Francia" will mean all of Europe that in the Mediaeval period was subject to the Roman Catholic Church, with its Latin liturgy, headed by the Pope, the Bishop of Rome.
This is perhaps France's greatest challenge today, a crushing tax burden (54% on as little as $45,000, plus 16% social security), labor unions that evidently would prefer a mediaeval guild system, and farcical policies like prohibiting people from working more than a certain number of hours (even for themselves).
Ironically, the French seemed to like America best, despite their own socialist President Mitterrand, when Ronald Reagan was President, despite his standing for almost everything that France wasn't.
