By Larry Moonze in Havana, Cuba. Fri 29 Apr. 2011, 15:30 CAT . FIDEL Castro has said NATO intervention in Libya has taken on a Nazi-fascist character that may be used against any Third World nation.
In his Reflections by Comrade Fidel published on Thursday, the former Cuban president stated that while one might agree or not with Moammar Gaddafi’s political ideas no one had the right to question the existence of Libya as an independent state and member of the United Nations.
He said the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) was playing the Nazi-fascist role in Libya with thousands of bombing missions by the most modern aircraft ever known by the world.
“To cap it all came the decision by the US administration to authorize the use of drones to kill Libyan men, women and children, like in Afghanistan, thousands of kilometers from Western Europe, but this time against an Arab and African country, before the eyes of hundreds of millions of Europeans and no less than in the name of the United Nations Organization,” Fidel stated.
“Russia’s Prime Minister Vladimir Putin yesterday Tuesday said that these acts of war were illegal and they are outside the framework of the accords adopted by the UN Security Council.
The crude attacks against the Libyan people which have taken on a Nazi-fascist character may be used against any Third World nation. I am really amazed at the resistance posed by Libya.
The belligerent organization now depends on Gaddafi. If he resists and does not yield to their demands he will enter history as one of the great figures of the Arab nations. NATO is poking a fire that could burn everyone.”
Fidel stressed that the world had not yet reached the point which was an essential condition for the survival of the human species such as access by all the peoples to the material resources of the planet.
“There is no other in the solar system that we know that has the most elemental conditions for life,” he stated.
“The United States itself always tried to be a melting pot of all races, all beliefs and all nations: white, black, yellow, the Indians and mixed races, with no other differences than those between the masters and slaves, the rich and poor; but all within its borders: To its North was Canada; to the South, Mexico; to the East, the Atlantic Ocean and to the West, the Pacific Ocean.
Alaska, Puerto Rico and Hawaii were simple historical accidents. What makes the issue complicated is that it does not imply the noble wish of those fighting for a better world, which deserves as much respect as the peoples’ religious beliefs do.
It would only take some kind of radioactive isotopes that stemmed from the enriched uranium used by thermonuclear plants in relatively small amounts—since they do not exist in nature—to put an end to the fragile existence of our species. Keeping those wastes in increasing volumes, under reinforced concrete and steel coffins, is one of the major challenges for technology.
Events like the Chernobyl accident or the earthquake in Japan have revealed those mortal risks.”
Fidel said he was amazed watching images of the meeting between US defense secretary Robert Gates and the UK defense minister Liam Fox at the Pentagon on Tuesday discuss the “criminal war unleashed by NATO against Libya.”
He stated that it was something difficult to believe the British minister “won an Oscar - he was a bundle of nerves, he was tense and spoke like crazy and he” gave the impression that he was just spitting out the words.
Fidel stated that Gates spoke showing the smile and natural manners of a host while Fox did the opposite.
“I have not often seen anything more horrifying than this. He Fox was releasing hatred, frustration, fury and using threatening language against the Libyan leader and urging his unconditional surrender,” noted Fidel. “He looked indignant because the powerful NATO warplanes had not been able to crush the Libyan resistance in 72 hours.
He was only missing the exclamation: “blood, sweat and tears,” just like Winston Churchill when he calculated the price to be paid by his country in the fight against the Nazi warplanes. But in this case, the Nazi-fascist role is being played by NATO with its thousands of bombing missions by the most modern aircraft ever known by the world.”
