Comments on: Running to where fear is born. http://babalublog.com/2009/11/running-to-where-fear-is-born/ an island on the net without a bearded dictator Sun, 21 Mar 2010 02:11:39 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8 hourly 1 By: Gigi http://babalublog.com/2009/11/running-to-where-fear-is-born/comment-page-1/#comment-104316 Gigi Tue, 10 Nov 2009 05:06:44 +0000 http://babalublog.com/?p=29515#comment-104316 Yoani has a very valid point and since she's there to observe it, it may just be that these security / gestapo goons sense that their run isn't going to last forever; desperation takes many forms. Do they really believe they can keep this up indefinitely? Probably not. I have a hard time believing that so-called "reconciliation" can take place overnight when the regime crashes, as it will, given all the abuses and hell the regime has put people through. You can't just forgive and forget, like many dialogueros want: justice is screaming from every corner, and just like the Berlin wall crumbled, justice's day will come.

All that Yoani got was a warning! Do you realize that we give those out here too in the USA? IF you don't believe me read it for yourself...... "Democratic consultant says he got a warning from White House after appearing on Fox News" http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-na-obama-fox7-2009nov07,0,7720786.story Do you realize that there are certain topics that can not be talked about unless you leave the country? that's why journalist Janet Phelan who was recently threatened and is documented on my blog had to leave the country because she was afraid for her life? I had to leave the country in order to exercise free speech after I was threatened too! Moral of the story: Worry less about the democracy that you lost and worry more about the one that you are about to lose.
