About the Author
Fidel Castro (1926-) led a guerrilla movement in Cuba that overthrew the Batista dictatorship in 1959. Despite innumerable assassination attempts, the Cuban president was the nemesis of 10 US administrations. He retired due to ill-health in August 2006, but has continued to make characteristically forthright comments on world events and US-Cuba relations. Obama is the eleventh US president to confront Fidel Castro.

An appeal to our humanity
By Malvin
"Obama and the Empire" is an excellent collection of short "reflections" written from May 2008 through June 2010 by the legendary Fidel Castro, who today remains one of the most authentic living critics of the U.S. capitalist state. Filled with numerous insights gained over a lifetime spent successfully resisting empire, Mr. Castro poses the kinds of questions that only someone who has no fear could ask. Indeed, Mr. Castro's ability to forcefully speak truth to power makes him an invaluable if unlikely ally to countless Americans who might be pondering their country's future.
Mr. Castro astutely perceives that there are two Obamas: a person who embodies the hopes and aspirations of the American people; and a chief executive whose ambitions are bound to serve the narrow interests of capital. On the one hand, Mr. Castro generally lauds Obama for his intellect, work ethic and mastery of issues such as global warming. On the other hand, Mr. Castro laments that Obama has been unwilling to act decisively on issues that might prove beneficial to humanity while working frantically to prop up a fatally flawed and unsustainable economic system. Not that any of this comes as a surprise to Mr. Castro; as a witness to the eleventh president to hold office since the Cuban Revolution, Mr. Castro knows full well that Obama's power is constrained by the demands of the economic system over which he presides.
Mr. Castro knows a thing or two about armed struggle, and it is perhaps on this topic that his criticism carries the most weight. Obama is faulted for escalating the unwinnable war in Afghanistan; colonizing the nation of Colombia with military bases; and of course, refusing to lift the embargo on Cuba at a time when even some Republican senators have indicated a willingness to change. However, Mr. Castro is most impressive when he seamlessly ties U.S. foreign policy to the expansionist needs of America's economy. Highlighting Obama's continued funding of the military/industrial complex, Mr. Castro questions why the president finds nothing wrong with allowing robotic weapons to do the dirty work of projecting American power into distant lands.
On that point, Mr. Castro provides a useful perspective from the world's poorer nations. Most Americans rarely consider how our insatiable thirst for human and physical resources might impose higher labor, food and fuel costs on others; nor do we often acknowledge that our consumption habits might be squandering an opportunity to use the earth's resources more wisely and equitably with the goal of lifting up others from poverty. With a billion hungry people in a world that is already feeling the effects of global warming and with little power to challenge the American war machine, Mr. Castro's appeal to our humanity could not be more timely.
I highly recommend this slender (134 pages) but important book to everyone.

Recently Expanded Edition: At eighty-six he remains leading voice for sanity in our hemisphere; this review of new 2012 edition
By Love Thy Enemy
This previously published collection of essays has recently been expanded and updated to include Fidel's thoughts around the assassination attempt of Rep. Gifford in Arizona, the US 2011 State of the Union Address, etc. This volume closes considering the illegal killing of Bin Laden and its effects on our history, our world, the local society and his family, who were present.
He interrupts this global consideration of this illegal and immoral assassination by making the global local, in recalling correctly: "Still engraved in the minds of hundreds of millions of people are also the horrible images of human beings who, for months and even for years, have been submitted to unbearable and excruciating torture in Guantanamo, an illegally occupied territory in Cuba. They were kidnapped and transferred to secret prisons with the hypocritical connivance of supposedly civilized countries (p. 154)."
For more on the situation of immorality, illegality and injustice still on-going on Guantanamo Bay, please study carefully the excellent and tragic chronicle For God And Country: Faith and Patriotism Under Fire.
This book thus closes considering validly and rationally and substantially the assassination of Ossama Bin Laden by the US government. The penultimate chapter explores the US invasion of Libya, with the driving motive being as everywhere, oil.
We must read this important chapter with our most serious consideration (and like the people of Nineveh hearing the message of Jonah: our deepest sincere repentance), as it begins globally and then specifically to explain why we invade nations with whom we are not at war. Within this informative and clarifying chapter we find this sentence: "The squandering of oil and gas is associated with one of the greatest tragedies, which is far from being resolved, which is suffered by humankind, climate change (p. 147)." With that broad perspective, this essay, drafted February 21, 2011, concludes, after retracing the heroic history of the Libyan revolution, with this warning: "An honest person will always be against any injustice being committed against any people in the world. And, at this moment, the worst thing would be to remain silent in the face of the crime that NATO is getting ready to commit against the Libyan people. The leadership of that war-mongering organization will attack Libya. We must condemn it (p. 149)!" Well, it did, and we all fail to, until now . . .
In the midst of an analysis of our president's address to a grieving Arizona mourning those six killed and congress-lady gravely wounded along with fourteen others on January 8, 2011, President Fidel again takes the global perspective, recounting the facts of the failing US economy, of crop failures worldwide due to climate change, and the dangers of nuclear warfare in this present political instability. Please study these chapters carefully, rationally, and follow up with further study, until at long last even you can act.
There is so much of gold within this volume that I wish to share with you, chapter by chapter, brilliant, correct analysis of where we are and why, but I urge you please to read this book, especially now, in our coming insanity of an election year in which we are buried and baffled by lies rather than these truths, bravely and clearly spoken.
This book carefully weighs events in the Obama administration over the past three years, from May of 2008 through May of this year, 2011 in thirty three insightful essays by President Fidel Castro, and must be read by every American. Forget who wrote them; read them, and find the assumptions we have cherished and are sold melting under the broader light of reason. Great antidote to our national media.
