Bush on Cuba Bombs in Britain

London, Oct 25 (Prensa Latina) 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.
