45. You call this winning?

Yup, we've made out real well, haven't we? So much for a 'peace dividend'.

The Cubans who I spoke to in Cuba would differ in your estimation of Cuba's future. Your opinion that Fidel Castro is some kind of autocrat capable of single-handedly enslaving his people is laughable, belied by history and an examination of the Cuban political system. Fidel is important as a historic figure and figurehead. His opinions are respected but not dictates. There is no cult of personality around Castro, Che is lauded but the bears share of respect goes to Jose Marti.

You really need to get your head out of the US propaganda toilet.
