Castro recognizes a brother

The Cuban dictator, invited to the Summit of the Americas for the first time, beats up on America from a historical standpoint, but says to the Most Equal Comrade, "Now you, kid, you're all right":

He referred to the United States' "wars, conquests and interventions" in the region, saying through an interpreter that the country has been a "hegemonic force that plundered territories throughout the Americas."

Castro recalled that the U.S. Congress authorized military intervention in Cuba in the late 19th century and that led to the establishment of a military base in Guantanamo that still "occupies our territory."

In the 20th century, the United States carried out a series of "interventions to overthrow democratic governments" in Latin America, where "dictators were installed in 20 countries, 12 of them simultaneously."

"In South America alone, hundreds of thousands of people were killed," Castro said, adding that the most "brutal" episode was the 1973 U.S.-backed coup that toppled Chilean President Salvador Allende's democratically elected socialist government.

But after finishing his review of Latin American history, Castro issued an apology to his U.S. counterpart.

"The passion comes out of my pores when the revolution is involved, but I want to apologize to President Obama because he doesn't have anything to do with all of that," Castro said, eliciting another round of applause.

Hell, the post-American overlords can't get anything close to that level of comity out of the other enemy we're trying to legitimize (Iran).  Khameini continues - as recently as last week - to say that the MEC has "devilish intentions."  Maybe it's some kind of difference between Communism and radical Islam.

But one thing's for sure:  Everybody else is taking notice.
