We got the full spiel on how ordinary citizens feel and most are not happy. Unless you're a Communist you have no power and little else. I hope Raul brings longed for change. <em>FeelingFlirty's last blog post..<a href='http://www.feelingflirty.com/how-much-does-age-matter/' rel="nofollow">How much does age matter?</a></em> I spent some time in Cuba last year and was invited to dinner with a local couple in Havana.

I recognize the fact that people must have been fleeing Cuba for some reason, but you still have to give credit where credit is due. Well I’m no fool.

America doesn't trade with Cuba, but he rest of the world does... Castro's infliction of communism upon Cuba has resulted in poverty and misery for Cuba's people. His export of "revolution" spread death and strife in places like Angola and achieved NOTHING. Cuba's claims of achievement in health care, education, etc. is nothing but propaganda aided and abetted by the same sort of mushy-minded "useful idiots" that fawned over the Soviet Union... Until it collapsed. Look up "Potemkin Village." You'd think your sort would have learned, but evidently not. Without the United States, the free world wouldn't exist. The US has it's faults, but to lionize a murderous dictator who viciously suppressed dissent via EXECUTIONS, FORCED "PSYCHIATRIC CARE", TORTURE, and IMPRISONMENT, for DECADES while complaining that the US's sacrifices in blood and money to remove terrorist thug regimes are "getting old" is both offensive and ludicrous. Ever hear the old joke routine, George Carlin IIRC, where it's observed that what's "stuff" to yourself is Sh!t to others... Well, your stuff STINKS. Castro ran Cuba WELL?
