over here in good ole USA its been announced that Fidel Castro may be dead within a year.it was also announced on Friday that when he dies the USA will invade cuba to make it a democracy.now THIS should be world news.

nm

I'll remind you of this when it happens.also today an ex US soldier has been charged with raping and murdering a whole Iraqi family.its not (again) in the UK news.

gossip and speculation?????.the New York Times had a story last week which read....."A government report ordered by President Bush says that the United States should act fast to support a transitional government in Cuba when President Fidel Castro's rule ends and that it should get advisers on the ground within weeks".

The UK has it's own news and events which often take precedence over what the occasional GI Joe is doing over in Iraq. Even on 24 hour news channels the stories are prioritised. British news comes first. International news which effects Britain comes next. The editors also consider which stories the public are most likely to be interested in. Yet another American misbehaving in Iraq isn't going to raise many British eyebrows. Also America discussing plans to "advise" Cuba on their future leadership isn't terribly newsworthy. When Castro does finally die, that will be reported over here. If that prompts an American invasion of Cuba, that will also be reported - when it happens. Casual huffing and puffing within the White House will only be reported if we have a very slow news day. The Americans may think that their every breath is of high importance, but most Brits have better things to think about.

No conspiracy. Just not a great deal of interest.
