"HAVANA, Cuba (CNN) -- The Cuban government and state media have remained highly critical of NATO's military attack on Yugoslavia. But to the surprise of many Cuba watchers, the U.S. government's proposal to bring 20,000 Kosovo refugees to the Guantanamo Bay naval base -- which is on the island of Cuba -- hasn't received the same critical attention.

Indeed, Cuban officials have offered to assist in the humanitarian effort, as CNN's Havana Bureau Chief Lucia Newman reports.

Obviously the help isnt going to be accepted but i still think its funny as hell. Anyone who would probably come over from cuba probably wouldnt return.

Do you guys think you should accept help from cuba?

Here is the right news item

"Saturday, September 3, 2005 (Havana):

Cuban President Fidel Castro announced in a live television broadcast on Friday that he had issued a second offer to the United States to send 1,100 Cuban doctors to help care for victims of Hurricane Katrina.

Castro said the first 100 doctors were ready to travel as early as Friday night to Houston, Texas, where many of the hurricane victims have been evacuated.

The Cuban leader said his government was hoping for a rapid response to the offer.

Castro said a diplomatic note containing the offer was sent late on Friday afternoon to the US Interests Section, the American mission in Havana, and was the second such offer of its kind made this week.

Castro said the first offer of Cuban doctors for hurricane relief efforts was made during a meeting with Cuban foreign ministry and US officials in Havana on Tuesday, days before the extent of the hurricane's catastrophic damage was known.

At the time, US officials had asked Cuban authorities not to publicise their offer of aid, said Castro.

But Castro indicated the deepening of the human suffering in New Orleans and other US Gulf Coast cities had compelled him to repeat the offer.

Currently, there are tens of thousands of Cuban doctors working on goodwill missions in developing nations, especially in Venezuela and Haiti, as well as in Africa. (AP)

Bush is a dumb fuck if he doesn't accept that offer. Political agenda or not, theres people who need help and Cuba has offered help.

Cuba has a higher literacy rate than Texas.

And better medical care for their people than the poor get in the US.

This is a legitimate and valuable offer. But politically unacceptable to a Republican administration.

The poor are pawns to the politicians. History repeats itself over and over again.

Dirty Dane · 09-03-2005, 03:54 PM

Hey, even Sri Lanka offered money, but also medical staff

'Cept the only reason they're doing it is to poke fun at the US, and say: "See, even though you sanction us, we're better than you and will help you out American Pigs!"

but no, the US doesn't really need more help than it already has... You're pretty self sufficient... it's just taking a while..

They are expert in making boats though, the Cuban doctors will be right at home floating around New Orleans in an old pickup truck, all 1100 of them on a few of them....
