The United States, however, had missiles and bomber bases already in place in Turkey and other missiles in Western Europe pointed toward the Soviet Union. Life is tough. International politics is a bitch. Get used to it. The confusion lay, it seems, in not seeing clearly who were the good guys and who were the bad guys There's something wrong with that statement? You prefer brutal dictatorships to democracies? Equally obvious was the right of the United States to maintain a military base on Cuban soil -- Guantánamo Naval Base by name, a vestige of colonialism staring down the throats of the Cuban people, which the US, to this day, refuses to vacate despite the vehement protest of the Castro government. Would you and Fidel like cheese with your whine? Do you write for the Daily Worker?

>>All part of the decades-long terrorist campaign that both Republican and Democrat administrations have waged on Cuba, including chemical/biological warfare: If Cuba is your ideal, then you, like Castro, are a monster. Like all communist "utopias", freedom to choose is the first thing they murder because their monster rulers know freedom is their demise. Cuba once had the third highest standard of living in the western hemisphere, now, because of Castro's failed regime, it is a laughingstock with $150/year per capita income.
