    Cuba and Venezuela are the cancers of Latin America that want to metastacise to other countries to destroy them with their failed systems. How evil that they should want to see the devastation that their systems have caused in their own countries elsewhere in our continent.
    May the day come soon when the Castro-Chavismo malignancy disappears from the face of Latin America, and the continent evolves out of totalitarianism and despotism into Democracy and freedom.
    Thank you, Honduras, for being the first effective chemo-therapy against the political cancer of our times in our countries.
