"Using armored vehicles, tear gas -- which even made the delegations staying in hotels queasy -- and, on top of that, pepper gas.  Brutal methods, dragging people throught the streets.  Six hundred arrested.  What would happen if such behavior took place in Cuba?

Tons of masked men, with horrifying outfits to scare people, thousands of police in all directions, men being dragged, horses and other animals to attack people? They would say that it was a flagrant and massive violation of human rights and that, therefore, they had to use the NATO formula to conduct a 'humanitarian intervention.'" -- Fidel Castro, receiving the Cuban Delegation upon its return from the conference of the World Trade Organization in Seattle.
