Mmm, agreed. Much like the Somozas in Nicaragua, Batista wasn't exactly the best leader in the world. However, in comparison to the regimes that took over after them, I think that they are mild in many instances. Certainly, I would at the very least prefer the pro-American dictator to a Sandinista or a Castro, but that's me. I'm a patriot. I'm a nationalist.
