U.S. wiill not allow another dictatorship to begin in Cuba

Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice says the United States is ready to assist Cuba in a transition to democracy.

She says however the U.S. is not attempting to foment unrest on the island while President Fidel Castro is ill.

It has been nearly a week since President Castro temporarily handed executive authority to his brother, Raul, before undergoing surgery for what government sources described as gastrointestinal bleeding. Since then, Cuban officials have accused the Bush administration of attempting to destabilize the country by repeatedly broaching the subject of political change on the island.

Speaking on NBC's 'Meet the Press' program, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice dismissed the allegation, but reiterated U.S. support for democracy in Cuba. 'We are not going to do anything to stoke a sense of crisis, or a sense of instability in Cuba. This is a transitional period for the Cuban people. We are going to stand with them for the proposition that there should not be the end of one dictatorship and the imposition of another dictatorship,' she said.
