Hey Fidel .. who gave you that name?


Granma International, English Edition: "Rahm Emanuel
WHAT a strange surname! It appears Spanish, easy to pronounce, but it’s not. Never in my life have I heard or read about any student or compatriot with that name, among tens of thousands. Where does it come from? I wondered. Over and over, the name came to mind of the brilliant German thinker, Immanuel Kant, who together with Aristotle and Plato, formed a trio of philosophers that have most influenced human thinking. Doubtless he was not very far, as I discovered later, from the philosophy of the man closest to the current president of the United States, Barack Obama."

Strange, rambling essay by Fidel. By the way, he uses it to falsely claim that Rahm once joined the Israeli army. Has the old rebel entered dotage?
