Chavez, who came out of the ranks of the Venezuelan Army, is methodical and tireless. I have observed him over the course of 17 years, since his first visit to Cuba. He is an extremely humanitarian and law-abiding person; he has never taken revenge on anybody.

Even Gaddafi's adversaries assure us that he stood out for his intelligence as a student; he was expelled from high-school for his anti-monarchic activities. He managed to enroll in another high-school and later graduated in law at the University of Benghazi at the age of 21.

Cuba stands by Pakistan in this hour of trial,

I am Fidel Castro and we have come to liberate Cuba.

In the army of the workers there must be discipline; there must be comradeship, there must be unity; you are the officers of this army, you are the leaders.

North Americans don't understand... that our country is not just Cuba; our country is also humanity.
