Title- Cuba, the memory and the future
Op-ed in liberal Folha de S. Paulo (5-27) by Clovis Rossi notes:
"The Americas will have to deal with the Cuban ghost as of [June]
2nd, during the Organization of American States [OAS] General
Assembly, to take place in San Pedro Sula, Honduras. Brazil is
working with the wisest of the stances: it wants the meeting to
revoke the 1962 resolution that suspended the Caribbean island from
the Organization....the next step is...that Cuba stays in a
transition phase for a while, able to accommodate two things: first,
the direct and indirect dialogue between Cuba and the U.S.; second:
the domestic situation in Cuba.....Alba countries want the
re-integration [of Cuba in the OAS]...the U.S., Canada and some
Caribbean countries are against it....Tackling this [sentimental]
memory [of the subcontinent] in a final way is crucial for looking
ahead and trying to place the relationship between Latin AMERICA and
the U.S. at a more civilized and advantageous level."
Title- Pyongyang's message
Editorial in center-right O Estado de S. Paulo (5-27) states:
"....The question made by all the world....is what else major powers
and the United Nations can do against a regime that is already
isolated. An armed solution is unthinkable. What we have left is
what [President Barack] Obama has proposed to Iran: to dialogue.
And it is, in his own way, what [North Korean leader] Kim Jong-il
also intends, 'as if he were to ask someone to marry him, with a gun
pointed to her head,' a Japanese political scientist compared. 'But
that's the way North Korea works.'"
