The Weekly Standard reports:
President Obama said that he “personally would not disagree” with some of Cuban President Raul Castro’s criticisms of America:
“President Castro, I think, has pointed out that in his view making sure that everybody is getting a decent education or health care, has basic security and old age, that those things are human rights as well. I personally would not disagree with him,” Obama said.

Somewhere, John F. Kennedy is rolling over in his grave.

And while Comrade Obama was on his Disculpa y Rendición Recorrido, London’s Daily Mail reports what was happening elsewhere:
At least 34 people have been killed and many more have been left injured after a series of bombs blasted inside an airport terminal and Metro station.
It has been reported that at least one of the bombs at Brussels Airport contained nails.
Terrified passengers at Brussels Airport have told how there was ‘just blood’ everywhere after this morning’s bomb blast and likened the horrific aftermath to ‘the apocalypse’.
Witnesses described gruesome scenes inside the terminal in the wake of the suspected suicide blast which has claimed the lives of at least 14 people and left 50 more injured.
Blood-soaked passengers sprinted for their lives as smoke filled the area near the check in desks.
Alphonse Youla, who was working on a stand putting security wrapping around suitcases, said: ‘I heard a man shout some Arabic words then an explosion.. then a second explosion, a massive explosion, much bigger.
‘It was a horror. I saw at least seven people dead. There was blood. People had lost legs. You could see their bodies but no legs.’
One witness struggled to hold back tears as he described victims who had lost their legs lying in pools of blood in the airport’s main hall.
Others described seeing ‘dismembered bodies everywhere’ and the ceiling collapsing after two blasts rocked the building.
Just 90 minutes later a blast hit a Metro in the Maelbeek area of Brussels claiming another 20 lives.
Samir Derrouich, who works at a restaurant in the airport, said: ‘The two explosions were almost simultaneous. They were both at check in desk. One was close to the Starbucks. It was awful. There was just blood. It was like the apocalypse.’
Dries Valaert, 30, was waiting to get his boarding pass from a check in desk.
He said: ‘There was a first blast and then ten seconds later a second explosion. It was a big big blast, the ceiling went down. It was just 30 metres from where I was. I saw people down on the ground and I just went running.
‘I jumped over the security fences towards the departure gates as I thought it would be safer. My first intuition was to get out in case their were attackers with guns.
‘I saw a woman around 18 years old with a hole in her hand with blood pouring out and a man with an injured ankle and two people down. There was lots of panic. People were running all over the place.’
Mr Valaert, who was flying to a business meeting in Berlin, said he believed the bombs were hidden in suitcases that had just been checked in.
He said: ‘The explosions were just behind the service desks, they were blown towards us. To me it is the most realistic possibility. I don’t think it was someone with a sucide vest.’
He said he did not hear anyone shout anything before the blasts.
‘I saw two people dead. I looked around as I ran away and saw them lying there.’
Martin Buxant tweeted how a witness had told him: ‘We saw bodies go up in the air and then falling down heavily.’
There were reports that shouts in Arabic were heard before the explosions and shots fired in the aftermath.
Around 90 minutes later, ten were killed when an explosion hit a Metro station near the EU headquarters in the city centre in another suspected terror attack.
