Won't this drive the left into a tizzy

One of the left's favorite icons is criticizing the United States again. Normally this would be cause for rejoicing on the left. After all, the man who epitomizes their favorite form of government, communist dictatorship, is speaking out against the United States.
This time though, Fidel Castro is speaking out against one of the left's pet causes: biofuels.
Cuban leader Fidel Castro has written a second newspaper article within a week, again criticising US biofuels policy.
Writing in the Granma newspaper, Mr Castro said a US drive to back crop use for fuels would raise prices and cause more hunger in developing countries.
Mr Castro handed power to his brother Raul in July after undergoing surgery, and has not appeared in public since.
Correspondents say his articles in the Communist Party's official paper may be a sign of a return to active politics.
The Cuban president's failure to appear in public - and the silence from the Cuban authorities - had fuelled regular speculation about the seriousness of his condition.
Officials have said they expect Mr Castro to resume activities in government soon.
So how will the left deal with this? Their darling dictator is criticizing one of their pet projects. Maybe they'll ignore that and simply rejoice at his apparent return to politics.
