The Cuban Triangle is puzzled by a Florida Congressional delegation's idea that Cuba should be blocked from drilling for oil in its own Gulf waters. He says comments by Senator Mel Martinez, reported in El Nuevo Herald, must sound to Cuban readers, “as if he thinks he is in charge of their country.”

Which planet are you boys on ,don’t you know that the Anglo Saxon Diaspora owns the world and all the people on it
Should any of their none Anglo Sub ornate subjects dares to step out of line they will
Collectively descend upon them with great force.
Only the Anglos has the right to tell the citizens of the world who to dislike and when to dislike
Guns Bombs And economic sanctions are the tools to starve or beat countries into submission, mostly for their own good.
God bless Anglo-American land of the free and the brave, and keep her strong
