New Cuban leader Castro's brother lashes out at U.S. at summit
Media Release
Sep. 15, 2006

Fidel Castro's brother, Raul Castro, unleashed a stream of anti-American invective to leaders from two-thirds of the world's nations as Cuba assumed leadership of the Nonaligned Movement summit.

Formerly defense minister and No. 2 man in the communist-led government, the acting president said the world today is shaped by the United States'' "irrational pretentions for world dominance."

"When there no longer is a Cold War, the United States spends one billion dollars a year in weapons and soldiers and it squanders a similar amount in commercial publicity," he said. "To think that a social and economic order that has proven unsustainable could be maintained by force is simply an absurd idea."
