update on WW III

Hello people of the world, in april or may of 2009 the Cuba president declare war on the U S, China, & Venezuela. People of the world we all need to help one another and stand up against Cuba. We are in World War III, the Cuban's declared. They are consentrating on our world leaders and ranking officers so that they can't protect the people from Cuba. The cuban army will
write down what he can say and that's all he is allowed to do. So please pass the message along in writting so it gets to all the people. Cuba needs to be bomded off the face of the map. Cuba's messages by way of sub lingal messages to our army's of
english speaking countries' will make our officer's wait for your commanders written orders, which will never get to them because of their sub lingal messages. Most of the foreign speaking countries' leaders can't speak their own language, then at
night they just beat them and during the day. sub lingal messages are against the law in the US. The US is not the one putting them over a map. only cuba is. the Geneva convention is for all the counties of the world an cuba doesn't obey any of those laws.

ps: do you know most of the people are to beaten to speak because of Cuba's concentration war. Including the other leaders of different countries. Please don't listen to those sub lingal messages that Cuba is using on your country. Please inform as many people as possible to act in their peoples' behalf and bomb cuba.
