5. and what she said that she'd hope that raul castro's governing would take a different direction than
his brother's fidel had, and that she'd hope that he, raul castro, would open it up to the people in cuba bein able to be able to determine their future...however, she did not, in any way, talking about the u.s.a shpreading democracy in cuba ... so... democracy in cuba is something that even those cubans here want for cuba.

3. Democracy is scary. For most people, it equals chaos. And many don't want the responsibility
that Democracy requires.

4. He didn't say we'd spread it... he said if they came around to it... there's a big difference...
like the difference between gunpoint and freedom of choice.
