CNN:
"Cuba is running out of toilet paper. While Cuba blames the Global Financial Crisis, Fareed blames Communism."

I'm not sure if this is true or not, but the capitalists made another propaganda stunt against socialism.
In under 2 minutes they ridiculed public health care, education and all the good in Cuba.
A message that viewers will remember is that communism = lack of toilet paper.
Damn, damn.. they really kick our asses when it comes to propaganda, obviously (since we lack any wide spread media outlet :()

Well, if you need toilet paper, it must mean you had food - which is more than people can say in alot of capitalist countries.

Lol, "Fareed blames Communism". Everything that guy said seriously borders on slander, and is purposely placed out of context. This is really what to expect of CNN....

It has been one of the materials known to be lacking in Cuba, since a common practice is to ask tourists for extra hotel supplies. Basic raw materials produced out of the country.

Why do you post such drivel? Who cares what that **** Zakaria thinks?
He's a traitor to his ethnic group by licking the Yankee boots. Toilet paper, huh? I'm going to print this thread and ship it first class to Cuba to compensate for the shortage.

In his 2006 book State of Denial (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_of_Denial), Washington Post (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washington_Post) journalist Bob Woodward (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Woodward) described a November 29 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/November_29), 2001 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2001), meeting of Middle East (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middle_East) analysts, including Zakaria, that was convened at the request of the then Deputy Secretary of Defense Paul Wolfowitz (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_D._Wolfowitz). According to a New York Times (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Times) story on Woodward's book, the Wolfowitz meeting ultimately produced a report for President (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/President_of_the_United_States) George W. Bush (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_W._Bush) that supported the subsequent invasion of Iraq (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2003_invasion_of_Iraq). Zakaria, however, later told The New York Times that he had briefly attended what he thought was "a brainstorming session" and did not recall being told that a report for the President would be produced. In fact he was not and the report does not have his name on it. The New York Times later published a correction

^ wowza, this guy isn't just a lame-brained reporter he's an important part of the imperialist hierarchy.
