Cuba wa much better off under the Mafia. At least the people could vote in their own corrupt leaders and make a decent living. The truth is, I would love to find some way to buy a little real estate on that island now. When that old geek castro dies, Cuba is going to quickly become a gambling island paradise. Just as it always should have been.

Stupid bigot. In Cuba before Castro there were only gambling casinos in two or three hotels and Tropicana nightclub. Havana was not Las Vegas. Everything was not perfect before Castro, but certainly was one of the best places to live in the world. Cuba will not need gambling to be again a country with an standard of living that in 1959 was close to the U.S. and above all Western Europe and Latin American.
