Castro Aids US, Kicks Reaganites In Nuts

http://www.cnn.com/2005/WEATHER/09/03/katrina.castro/

Castro is offering medical aid in response to all the stuff that's hit N'awlens. It's like the entire cold war was just a lead-up for this - after fifty years of sanctions and poverty, the US gets hit (and hit hard), and Castro can sit back, have a good laugh and a good cigar, and offer to help us out.

Basically, he's got the high ground - technically (Cuba's fine), economically (N'awlens is gonna be under a lot of stress for the rest of the decade, I'll bet) and morally (After all the stuf we've put him through, he's offering a helping hand; quote: "This is not the time to kick an adversary - when he's down").

Personally, I love the irony.
