RE: Castro wasn't a communist when he fought his revolution. He held out hopes for working out a deal with the US after he won. The US drug their feet and Castro's brother set up a deal with Moscow instead. Moscow sent him the money and official communist "How to" book and a dictator was born. That is not true. I'm sure he had hopes of working out some deal with the US but he was a communist and he became a dictator because he wanted to have that power, not because he was forced to by anyone in Moscow. Tim
