To: My Favorite Headache
I wish Cuba had a Pinochet.

If it had, then that individual would be demonized today for killing a few thousand commies.

But unfortunately, Cuba never had a Pinochet, and those commies, left unkilled, are responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of my compatriots...yet, no world Court is demanding that Castro be brough to justice.

Here's what a Cuban Pinochet would have stopped before it happened:

Executed 18,000

Extrajudicial Assassinations 1,000

Dissappeared 250

Died in prison for lack of medical attention 50

Murdered in prison by guards 500

Extrajudicial assassinations of women, for different causes 150

Subtotal for extrajudicial killings 20,400

Political prisoners who reportedly committed suicide in prison 200

Died at sea attempting to flee (based on US Coast Guard estimates) 83,000

Cubans killed in "internationalist-solidarity" wars in Africa 10,000

Total 113,600

Rest in Peace Augusto Pinochet.
