>Imagine actually murdering women and children for wanting to travel off an island?<

Just out of curiosity what children has Castro actually "murdered". I don't want you counting the people who drown on rafts- that really isn't murder. So what child do you have ANY record of Castro having REALLY murdered.

In Sierra Leone people hack the arms and legs off little children. I can find you documentation of that. Piles and piles of little arms and legs.

Now Cuba is NOT free. It is poor. It is governed by a dictator. But it is by NO stretch of the imagination the most repressive country around. It is nowhere near the most violent country around. And it's inhabitants actually have fairly good health care and infant mortality rates are not abysmal.

SO- perhaps your righteous anger should be directed elsewhere until Cuba really IS the worst place on the planet to raise children. Until then I suggest you try to convince parents in REALLY horrible places to come here with their children and leave Cuban parents in peace.
