<<Look at Cuba. Is Castro good to his own people? Cuba can do much much better without him. US couldn't touch him.>. there is major historical reason for our leaving Cuba alone.
We really,really were on the edge of a nuclear war in October 1962, i mean it--no joke!
I remember walking in a park in Long Island that day with some one special from my past, it was the day of High Alert--the highest alert.
The what to do if the sirens sounded(it depended on how many times the siren sounded) were on the radio constantly.
i and the person i was with were out in the open in this totally deserted park because why kid ourselves, if it happens we are dead where ever we were--it was NYC territory).
But that war was stopped only because we guaranteed Russia we would NEVER invade Cuba if they got their missiles out of Cuba.
