Reactions to the Bombings

Historical Date: April 15, 2011

Today, at a United Nations Conference, the Cuban Foreign Minister Raúl Roa tried to accuse the United States for aggressive actions against Cuba (http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk ). The United States ambassador to the United Nations Adlai Stevenson stated that no American under any circumstances intervened in Cuban affairs including but  not limited to the bombing on Cuban air bases. He stated that the government would do anything in its power to make sure that no American citizen would carry out any aggressive actions against Cuba or its people. Stevenson said that the attacks carried out that day were Cuban Defects and he had showed pictures to the United Nations to prove this. President Kennedy latter supported Stevenson and everything he had said adding, "I have emphasized before that this was a struggle of Cuban patriots against a Cuban dictator. While we could not be expected to hide our sympathies, we made it repeatedly clear that the armed forces of this country would not intervene in any way" ( http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk). I think that the United States supplied the Cubans with the means to carry out this attack. Our government used Cubans just for the reason of denying any involvement.
