Havana, NU Online
Cuban President Fidel Castro stated that US statesman George W. Bush threatens humanity with World War III, this time using atomic weapons.

In his Tuesday's article entitled "Bush, Hunger and Death," the Cuban Revolution leader said that the danger of a massive world famine is aggravated by Mr. Bush's recent initiative to transform foods into fuel.<>

"Such crucially important issues are the ones attracting the attention of the representatives of the countries that will be meeting on Tuesday, October 30, to discuss the Cuban project condemning the blockade," expressed the island's president referring to the presentation of that document at the UN.

REFLECTIONS BY THE COMMANDER IN CHIEF:

BUSH, HUNGER AND DEATH

For the first time, just before the UN discusses, as it does every year, the project of the Cuban resolution condemning the blockade, the President of the United States announces that he will adopt new measures to accelerate the "transition period" in our country, equivalent to a new conquest of Cuba by force.

On the other hand, the danger of a massive world famine is aggravated by Mr. Bush's recent initiative to transform foods into fuel while, calling on strategic security principles, he threatens humanity with World War III, this time using atomic weapons.

Such crucially important issues are the ones attracting the attention of the representatives of the countries that will be meeting on Tuesday, October 30, to discuss the Cuban project condemning the blockade.

In elections where voting is not mandatory, our people have just given their verdict, with more than 95 percent of the electorate casting their vote at 37,749 polling stations, in ballot boxes guarded by school children. That is the example provided by Cuba.
