In an unprecedented move, Cuban Ambassador German Sanchez Otero has sent a letter to Venezuelan Generals to explain what is happening in Cuba. 

The Ambassador pursues the line that Cuba has been under US economic and trade blockade for 44 years and complains against an international smear campaign against his country's government for complying with laws defending national interests and against terrorism. 

• He warns that the latest USA attack on Cuba if successful would have dire effects on the rest of Latin America. 

Hitting out at critics, Sanchez Otero asks why don't the people complaining about the Cuban death penalty for terrorist acts condemn the death penalty in the United States of America (USA)  as applicable to teenagers and mentally ill persons.  "The only place in the world that supported the US genocide against Iraq was in Miami where the slogan was: Iraq first, then Cuba!"
