“As a matter of principle, we have never blamed the American people. The most that we can say, recalling Lincoln’s famous quote is that you can fool all the people some of the time, or some people all of the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time.
“Many have been the attempts by the United States to destroy the Puerto Rican nationalism, to destroy the Puerto Rican culture, to destroy every single distinctive feature of the Puerto Rican people […]”
“We are a patriotic and honorable people that will never accept impositions or threats from anyone but we are also sincere friends of the United States, particularly of all the good Americans --who are many-- and we keep discovering many more.”
“We are fighting in the defence of the sacred Homeland and the Revolution, against the mercenary attack organized by the imperialist government of the United States.”
“I have faith in this wonderful awakening of our continent. I have absolute faith in the future of this continent.

That is the kind of democracy W preaches to APEC. All bearing the US brand name and patent.
The “Henry Reeve” Brigade has been created, and whatever tasks you undertake in any part of the world or our own homeland, you shall always bear the glorious distinction of having responded to the call to assistance our brothers and sisters in the United States, and that nation’s humblest children especially, with courage and dignity.
Let’s go forward, generous defenders of health and of life, winners over pain and death itself!
