I agree entirely Alan.

>Castro is a dictator - no argument. However, whether he is as bad as the U.S. would have everybody believe is questionable. Yes, Cuba is a fairly poor country, but whether they'd be that badly off without the U.S. sanctions over so many years, or whether it's really all Castro's fault, is an important question. In reality, what so cheesed off the U.S. (especially Strom Thurmond) is that Castro stopped the U.S.'s plundering of the country and it's people. For the U.S., Cuba was a playground from which much was extracted and little, if anything, returned. The Cuban people were treated as though they simply didn't matter - except, of course, for those who were the support network for the U.S., and who prospered by plundering their own countrymen for profit.
