Cuban President Fidel Castro expressed concern Saturday about the nuclear dispute between Iran and countries including the United States and France, urging all countries to refrain from using nuclear weapons.

The Cuban leader chided France for recent comments by President Jacques Chirac that his country could respond with nuclear weapons against any state-sponsored terrorist attack. Castro also accused the United States of searching for an excuse to attack Iran.

"It is very worrisome that this alliance of countries is proclaiming the right to use nuclear weapons against 'terrorist' states," Castro said in a live appearance on the daily Cuban TV public-affairs program Mesa Redonda, or Round Table.

"What's being spread is fear," he added.

Referring to the United States, Castro said there exists "a danger that they will attack Iran...with the most unjustifiable of pretexts and with nuclear weapons."

1. Fidel is the statesman in his twilight of his life

while Bush is the terrorist.

Socialists want a world to liberate, while capitalists want a world to incinerate (after collecting all their profits, of course).

2. Hey IG, have you ever watched Mesa Redonda?

I have. Its one of the best shows in the history of television. Kinda like DU TV, except w/o the freeptard intrusions.

3. I haven't watch it in years!

Man, that show is as old as Meet the Press!

4. Any Real Capitalist Knows Incinerating The World Would Be Bad For Business

But it's not capitalism anymore when robber barons buy the government.

5. That's just what a lot of people on DU have been saying Mr Castro.

It's not very comfortable when the crazies have all the power.
