31. Fulgencio Batista was a whore to US Corporations - I guess Castro
Edited on Thu Aug-12-04 12:59 PM by papau
at least does not have that on his record.

Indeed the sin and corruption hell that Batista turned the place into made it a great vacation stop for GOP folks.

Castro has improved the lifes of folks a lot since 59.

But I do not like the lack of political freedom - but how is it worse than the other "friends" we have in poor countries - or even Singapore and China?

Is there some pride of former ownership of a part of Cuba - ownership that may well be because of Batista rape, murder, and corruptiom - that makes the Castro takeover more evil than any other?

I do not like Castro - but normalizing relations, and economic engagement, are the way to forward in the future.

At least - IMHO!

:-)
