WORLD : Americans Can Move--Castro
If the United States resents having Cuba as a neighbor, Americans can always move elsewhere, Cuban leader Fidel Castro said in remarks published today.
The barb came at the end of a speech in which he warned Cubans never to lower their guard against imperialism and to redouble efforts in building an “ideological fortress.”
The Cuban leader said that as long as the United States exists “it will never tolerate socialism and the Cuban revolution” on its doorstep.
“Cubans live next to imperialism. We cannot move. And even if we could we would not do it. Let them move,” he said.
