Mike--Like I said in the beginning, "while Castro shouldn't be considered a hero, he's certainly not a horrible guy." You seem to be saying the same thing over. "Fidel hates America. Fidel doesn't care for the Cubans." If Fidel hates Cubans so much, then why would he risk his life during the Revolution to get Batista out? He did it because he thought communism would work, and if it did, Castro would be one of the greatest leaders of all time. -Pat
He would risk his life because he is a power hungry dictator. You think the revolution was due to his love for the Cuban people? He's not a horrible guy? You need a reality check.
The embargo only affects the United States. Cuba can trade with any other country they want to. You can buy Cuban cigars in Canada. Their economy is in horrible shape because communism doesn't work.
