Czech's stand up for Democracy

Fire of Liberty

I found this via Chrenkoff, a fellow blogger from Down Under. It seems The Czech Republic stood up to the EU and Cuba by blocking a ban on Cuban dissidents. In an effort to appease the dictator in Cuba, the EU, under a suggestion by Spain to ease tensions between Europe and Cuba, pushed for a ban on Cuban dissidents who attended receptions in various European embassies throughout Havana. Such events have been going on since 2003 within Havana since Castro locked up some 75 dissidents he deemed enemies of the State.

You've got to hand it to the government of the Czech Republic standing up to "The Bearded One." I guess when you've spent some fifty years under the boot of Soviet totalitarianism you generally understand the evil that exists in Havana. Thank God the Czech government has a spine.
