  "textContent": "The US has indicted Raúl Castro, ex-president of Cuba, accusing him of ordering an attack on two small planes in 1996.\n\nAccording to Wikipedia, the planes were dropping leaflets \"to fall on Cuba\". There is some slack in the precise meaning of that, but maybe Cuba had legitimate grounds to order them to land and then force them to do so.\n\nHowever, Cuba had no legitimate grounds to shoot and destroy these unarmed planes without first ordering them to land. By doing that, it committed a crime similar to the boat attacks that the bully continually orders elsewhere in the Gulf of Mexico.\n\nThe US ought to indict the people responsible for the continuing series of boat attacks, who are Americans, if it is to indict the people responsible for Cuba's airplane attack 30 years ago.",
