Bush on Cuba Bombs in Britain

British parliamentarians have condemned the new aggressions announced by US President George W. Bush against Cuba to forcibly reconquer the island.

"The aggressive and interventionist US policy has not granted any benefit to Iraq and neither is it apt for Cuba ," Ian Gibson, president of the British parliamentary group for Cuban affairs, told press Thursday.

Parliament deputy Colin Burgon commented that the ignorance of the current US president about international law is well-known.

Rob Miller, director of the campaign of solidarity with Cuba, urged the United Kingdom government to immediately distance itself from Bush and his policy toward Cuba, a policy reminiscent of the Cold War, he said.

Within five days Havana expects that most countries in the United Nations will again reject the almost fifty-year Washington economic, trade and financial siege against Cuba.

In the first General Assembly vote on the issue in 1992, 59 nations supported the Cuban demand to end that US policy, and by last year 183 supported an immediate end to the blockade.
