Fidel Castro’s influence over the Western intelligentsia” can only be described as magical, and renders any public evaluation of his regime among the smart set completely devoid of logic. To wit: He brought the world closest of anyone to nuclear Armageddon. Yet he was nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize by Norwegian parliamentarians.
He jailed and tortured at a rate higher than Stalin. Yet Cuba sat on the U.N.’s Human Rights Committee.
One day Cuba will be free.
