BEIJING kobe 11 elite bhm pas cher , March 21 (Xinhua) -- U.S. President Barack Obama's trip to Cuba is seen widely as a historic move of Uncle Sam, but ultimate rapprochement with Cuba requires the United States to refrain from imposing its ideology on others and to treat others as equals.
Both nations have shown strategic vision and goodwill in their efforts to end half-century-old rivalry and make Obama's visit possible. The rapprochement is set to become a legacy of Obama's presidency.
However, it is too early to predict a full-fledged thaw in Havana-Washington relations, given the tremendous and deep-rooted differences between the two countries.
Obama's journey, in the eyes of many observers, is arguably an ice-breaking gesture at best and nothing more than a discord-sowing maneuver to disintegrate the left-wing league in Latin America.
Obama has been dragging his feet in lifting the decades-old embargo against Cuba, which has taken its toll on the island's economy and the Cuban people's livelihood.
Furthermore kobe 11 elite pas cher , the trip, together with other fence-mending efforts by the Obama administration, has triggered enormous backlash from U.S. demagogic presidential contenders. Given Obama's lame-duck status, it would not be surprising that the restoration of U.S.-Cuba relations might meet with twists and turns ahead if the United States chooses not to renounce its arrogance.
As Henry Kissinger said in his book "Diplomacy," there was no other country like the United States that has stuck in the wishful conviction that its institutions are universally viable.
Harboring such ideas and seeing itself as the beacon of the so-called free world, Washington has long gruffly and habitually forced its ideas on other countries with different cultures and conditions. And the outcome? A war-torn Middle East, a nuclear Korean Peninsula kobe 10 elite rose gold pas cher , and the radicalism-stricken West, to name just a few.
Yes, Obama's visit is commendable for indicating the possibility of communication and collaboration between countries with divergent ideologies. But Washington needs to offer substantive and sufficient compensation to the island country to pay for its past wrongdoings.
Now that the United States has taken its first step and further progress is also expected in this respect. But much remains to be seen what the Western world would do.

MELBOURNE, Jan. 22 (Xinhua) -- Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer swatted away all-too-brief resistance from the next rung of tennis talent on night five of the Australian Open, while Serena Williams put her challenger to bed early.
Djokovic, the world number one and top seed, was forced off his happy hunting ground of Rod Laver Arena (RLA) on Friday night kobe 10 elite mambacurial pas cher , a court where the Serbian has scored half of his wins in Grand Slam finals.
The in-form Djokovic, current holder of all Slams, except the French Open, came mighty close to dropping his first set of the 2016 Australian Open against 28th-seed Andres Seppi.
Staring at a probable fourth set with the Italian, who famously knocked out Federer in the same round of last year's Open, the 28-year-old Serb fought off two sets points and won the next two to take the third-round encounter 6-1, 7-5 kobe 10 elite low pas cher , 7-6 (8-6).
Put under pressure for the first time all week, Djokovic displayed the composure only a double-digit Grand Slam champion can - and was clearly relieved to have kept a clean sheet, so to speak, pumping his chest and yelling in ecstasy.
In a far more subdued affair, Djokovic's No. 1-ranked female counterpart, American Williams was whisked on and off court before many late-arriving RLA fans could take their seats.
Williams cut teenager Daria Kasatkina to pieces in a one-sided 6-1, 6-1 victory that ran only 44 minutes.
Shaking hands at the net kobe 10 elite ignite pas cher , the ruthless champion offered words of encouragement to the obviously out-matched Russian, apparently complementing the youngster's backhand.
Earlier, Federer dropped his first set of the Open against a man many consider to be the 17-time Grand Slam champion's clone and heir apparent, Grigor Dimitrov.
Plagiarism may be the the highest form of flattery, but only if it doesn't supersede the original. And when 24-year-old Bulgarian - nicknamed 'Baby Fed' due to his similar game style - poached the second set from his unofficial idol, the possibility of the apprentice surpassing his master loomed large.
But Federer, who had never previously lost to his so-called junior self www.vaunt.org , immediately settled to book a spot in the last 16 with a 6-4, 3-6, 6-1, 6-4 victory.
With the win, the highly-decorated 34-year-old broke ground not seen before in the sport, becoming the first man to amass one thousand victories in Grand Slams.
"It's very exciting, I must tell you chaussure kobe pas cher ," Federer told reporters post-match when asked about the milestone.
"Like when I reached 1,000 (overall wins in Brisbane) last year - it was a big deal for me.
"It's not something I ever aimed for or looked for, but when it happens, it's very special.
"You look deeper into it, I guess, where it's all happened and how. Yeah, so it's very nice. I'm very happy."
Elsewhere chaussure kobe bryant pas cher , Australia's newest star, Daria Gavrilova, played an energy-sapping last set that spanned 96 minutes.
Gavrilova, 21, outlasted Frenchwoman Kristina Mladenovic 6-4 4-6 11-9, keeping Australia in the running to end its 38-year title drought in the women's main draw.
The Australian public has become very taken with Gavrilova, who represented Russia until gaining Australian citizenship in 2014 kobe 10 fundamentals pas cher , over the first week of the Open.
Once again she endeared herself to a nation known for its larrikinism, reacting in shock when she produced a delicious, unintended faux pas in her courtside interview which left the crowd in stitches.
The often polarizing, yet precocious, Australian Nick Kyrgios had
