Fidel Castro’s Cuba
- Share via
” . . . Those woebegone Cubans who have had to struggle to survive under an oppressive communist system that has failed at almost every turn.” What on earth are you talking about? Tell me about their homeless, their crime in the streets, their health care system, or their national debt and their banking system. In all these cases, they are better off than we are.
Is this part of a program to demonize Castro to get us ready for an invasion of Cuba, to kill thousands of them and then put out the yellow ribbons and reelect George Bush?
