Instead of toppling the regime, Bush should study Cuban health system

ONE would have imagined US President George W Bush had enough on his plate in Iraq and Afghanistan, but it is characteristic of the man that he is now concerned with the democratisation of Cuba.

Which means the people of that Caribbean island should be seriously worried, especially as it’s only 90 miles from Florida.

Because of ill-health, 80-year-old Fidel Castro has handed over his presidential powers to his slightly younger brother Raul, so Dubya is getting itchy fingers.
