I’m thinking Fidels days are numbered:
The president, however, will urge dissidents to step up efforts on the island and send a message to the Cuban military and police that they do not have to go down with the regime. He will refer to the wives and children of Cubans currently held as political prisoners on the island for supporting human rights and freedom.
Bush will propose at least three initiatives: the creation of an international “freedom fund” to help Cuba’s potential rebuilding of its country one day; a U.S. licensing of private groups to provide Internet access to Cuban students; and an invitation to Cuban youth to join a scholarship program.
The latter two offerings help the Bush administration underscore the kind of real-life limitations that Cubans now face ” from blocked Internet access to restricted information about their leaders to denial of legal protections. The creation of the international fund is meant to speed up societal transformation.
“We all know that Cuba is going to face very significant requirements to rebuild itself,” said a senior administration official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to avoid pre-empting the president. “There’s a whole set of challenges that Cuba is going to face. The United States will clearly want to help the Cubans as they define what it is they need, but we think the international community should be thinking that way as well.”
