Subject: April Caribbean Memo-2012

Dear Friends:

Cuban dictator Raul Castro has complained publicly the U.S. economic embargo is blocking the Caribbean island’s development.

Castro voiced his position openly to Roman Catholic Pope Benedict XVI during his a three-day visit to Havana, Cuba’s capital city.

According to a Cuban exile living in San Juan, Puerto Rico, here is what Castro was really saying.“We want the United States to provide the kind of economic support to Cuba like the old Soviet Union once did.”

Starting in October 1960 after Cuba nationalized property owned by U.S. citizens and corporations, the embargo was launched and then strengthened on Feb. 7, 1962

It will end when Cuba declares an end to Communist rule and its dictatorship over 11 million island residents.
Fidel Castro, Cuba’s first Communist dictator and the brother of the current one, imposed Communist rule on this Caribbean island on Jan. 1, 1959.

We write about Cuba because of our interest in Latin America and the Caribbean. Five novels about Chile, the Dominican Republic, Haiti, Panama and Puerto Rico about the zone have been written and can be found on the Website: natcarnes.com.

And a sixth one, called ‘AL-MAGHRED, The Barbary Lion,’ has been finished and will be available shortly. This is a historical novel about Islam.

With each purchase, we'd be more than happy to send YOU free of charge an e-book version. They can be read on any hand-held device with e-mail capability. Remember, we are interested in your comments, pro and con. In other words, that's how we learn.

And please let us know if you want your name taken off the Caribbean Memo list.
