For 57 years, two generations of Cubans, that which preceded us and ours, which led both from the First of January 1959 until today, have fought against the most powerful empire ever known to mankind.

I do not harbor any fears of sounding exaggerated, I say it with modesty, and even grief. It hurts to see how hundreds of millions of young people in the world couldn't even learn to read and write, or are semi-literate, or lack work and ignore everything related to the inalienable rights of human beings.

A colossal crime is being committed on billions of teenagers and youths of both sexes, whose beautiful minds are manipulated by the mass media and that many of them, mostly men, are turned into soldiers to die in unjust and genocidal wars that take place anywhere on the planet Earth.

The economic system that has prevailed is incompatible with the interests of humanity. It must end, and will end.

The new generations of young Cubans will get their message through, which was born of the experience of their own homeland; they will fulfill the sacred duty imposed on them by their own time. They will do so with humility and truth in hand, without stupid belief in racial or national superiority of any kind.

I've often wondered: Why do our children and our teenagers have to die?

Why do our young people have to die?

Why do those minds, where so many virtues could be planted and grown, have to go?

Why do their parents have to die in fratricidal wars?

Imagine that the Global Research website deserves no credit, that the theory of Gregory Ryskin, a biochemical engineer at Northwestern University about the bubble of methane that the writer Terrence Aym associated with the oil spill of British Petroleum in the Gulf of Mexico, deserves no attention at all and they invite us to sleep peacefully.

Global Research published the only possible explanation of the sinking of Cheonan, a sophisticated anti-submarine ship capable of detecting a boat of this type at 185 miles away. Obviously, it could not be sunk by an old Russian submarine, built over 50 years ago.

We prefer to cling to the hope that the arguments used in the Reflection to be published on Tuesday, August 3, conform to reality.

Otherwise, the danger of another war breaking out, which would immediately become nuclear, would be the only alternative, and therefore, this message will become more important than ever.

There is not a chance in a thousand, in ten thousand, or in any desired amount, that the United States or Israel renounce the sanctions established by United Nations Security Council, with strict time limits, or that Iran accepts that its ships be inspected.

A blind man could see that with clarity.

We will not give up, or allow the Empire to deceive the world.
