Mission Accomplished!

Fidel Castro is resigned as the President of Cuba after a half-century of pissing off US presidents to varying degrees.

The same man John Kennedy tried so desperately to kill (what was the official number of attempted assassinations, 638?) is finally no longer in power, yay!

George W. had this to say: "The international community should work with the Cuban people to begin to build institutions that are necessary for democracy and eventually this transition ought to lead to free and fair elections. The United States will help the people of Cuba realize the blessings of liberty." The italics are mine.

Did ol' Georgy suggest multilateral cooperation? This can't be right! This is the same person who bullishly decided to pursue a "regime change" half way around the world without support from most of our traditional allies- the same ones who presumably make up this "international community" ol' George is talking about.
