The following was part of a forwarded post: I have recently returned from a trip to Cuba with Global Exchange. This<br> was my fourth trip since 1971 and my first since Cuba began its current<br> process of active decentralization in certain sections of the economy,<br> political reform, and accelerated relationships with foreign capital. I<br> came away thinking that if Cuba is successful in developing its economy<br> within this framework and simultaneously maintaining its social framework of<br> medical care and education, we will be witnessing a line of development that<br> many of us had not considered. <br> I find this argument very disturbing. This is arguing the success of the Cuban revolution by moving the goalposts FORWARD. A retreat from socialism is being presented as a victory for public education. Even more disturbing, this line seems to be promulgated by the Cuban government itself. Terry McDonough
