This is not a Cuba photo. I took it in Paris several years ago at a parade on the St. Germain de Pres in protest of the bombing of Baghdad. Since then I have photographed people wearing Che tee shirts in all sorts of places from the southeastern US to downtown Budapest. I put it up today to mark the cutting of the power to the US Special Interests Section in Havana. They have recently been broadcasting propaganda and flashing lighted signs with messages that are critical of the government, so the governement simply cut the flow of electricity. The US Special Interests Section is now running on generator power. I think this is symbolic of the embargo. It is a generally bad idea that is losing power as time progresses and it is simply a matter of time. Waiting on Fidel to die will hardly be considered a victory no matter how much spin is applied.
