Look at the assassination attempts by the CIA. The mafia. Operation Mongoose. Operation Family Jewels.

Castro outlived all of them.

His rebels annihilated a U.S. backed regime. He was never killed or captured for it.

Socialism didn't take hold (at least not for the poor...), but Fidel Castro outfoxed ALL of his enemies.


I agree. Castro outfoxed them all. Too bad the result is that Cuba still looks like an apocalyptic version of 1959. You want to know who Castro really is and what he stood for? Ask all the Cuban kids and grandchildren that live in Miami. They will tell you exactly who he was. A Socialist Dictator. A JV version of Hitler.
