Moreover, the proposed shield was impractical and overly ambitious. Recent intelligence reports have shown that Iran isn’t developing the long-range missiles that the Eastern European missile shield could have protected against.

...most accounts, Juanes scored a success. Critics accused him of helping legitimize the Castros; they argued that the brothers wouldn't have let the king of the Latin Grammys take over the same square beneath the massive visage of Che Guevara if they thought he was a threat to their rule. In the short run, at least, the Castros won p.r. points at home and abroad by letting Juanes and other Latin luminaries perform...
