Castro to Obama: Let’s Talk

Over the past few weeks, Fidel Castro has been tracking Obama’s every move. In the most recent “Reflection” he published in the island’s press, the Cuban leader asks Obama a series of questions related to the embargo, war, torture, and immigration, and discusses the choices the president-elect has made for his administration. It’s clear that Castro wants to ask him some of those questions in person. “We can talk with Obama wherever he wishes, because we are not defenders of violence and war,” Castro writes. “We must remind him that the carrot and stick approach will not be successful in our country.”
