Killing of Kennedy may have derailed Cuba pact

"In my opinion an excellent way to undermine a Communist dictatorship is to show the people what they are missing under that system, free-speech, human rights and Play-stations."

In your theory, how do you get to show this to the people?

And how's that theory doing in China?

"In my opinion an excellent way to undermine a Communist dictatorship is to show the people what they are missing under that system, free-speech, human rights and Play-stations."

If there was a way to actually show this to the people, then they would not be living under a Communist dictatorship, would they?

Who the hell is "Dr." Castro?

Fidel earned his credentials as a lawyer, and it's worth a close and careful study of his life and that of the others of his gang who went from a dozen crapped-out radicals with a leaky boat to the despotic rulers of a people who've deserved much better for the last four decades

Had the Batista dictatorship that preceded Castros been presasured by the US interests who pulled at least some of Batista's strings, the conditions that allowed the Cuban revolution of the 1950s decade to flourish maght have been changed enough to starve it instead, and maybe Castro could have been the abrogado for poor fishermen and campesinos who'd have someday gratefully given him their votes in grateful return.

Instead he stole Cuba from them, a thief and rapist who may have been a successful criminal, and enough of an efficient one to have retained every scrap of power that came his way. But the sands in the hourglass are running out for him, and he's not going to be around much longer. And if once he's gone he can be successfully replaced, lets see that another Fidel Alejandro Castro Ruz does not come along to outdo the original.

You're preaching to the choir my friend.

Not a problem; choirs have to stay in practice too, if they're eventually to make harmonious music. So long as I'm not a soloist, I don't mind that description a bit.

But also like surgeons, we should study the causes and growth of Cuba's cancer, then, when the opportunity again arises, cut it right out. Primero muertos que esclavos, Luis, mi amigo y socio....

Ping for your attention. Some recently developed info of which you may have been previously unaware.

Not exactly rock-solid documentation, but certainly worth notice.
