About that Che Photo...

The Weekly Standard wants you to know what Cubans saw when they looked at that photo:
[T]he building that Guevara's face adorns is home to the Cuban Ministry of the Interior. Unlike our own Ministry of the Interior, Cuba's is not charged with innocuous tasks like protecting endangered waterfowl. Rather, it operates the National Revolutionary Police, which, in addition to keeping law and order on the streets, harasses and arrests dissidents, and suppresses "counter-revolutionary" activities. In other words, it's Cuba's version of the Stasi.
So it's a photo of the President of the United States, standing at attention, in front of the headquarters of the Communist Revolutionary Police. That should send a message to the Cuban people, for sure.

Yea, Bay of Pigs all over again.

Don't trust Americans, since they're one election away from stabbing their allies in the back. Then again, that's how democracies usually are, no surprise there.

I wonder if Isaiah 36:6 is cited frequently in Israel.

If it isn't, it should be.
