I'm rather surprised to find myself agreeing with you about something, Monk. Castro's no hero, but surely you don't think Battista was any hero by comparison. You and prophex are both right and both wrong. Cuba simply went from a right-wing dictatorship to a left-wing dictatorship. There are differences, of course. Under the old regime a person of means might have enjoyed a more comfortable life, but there was a huge underclass of starving citizens. Under the new, everyone has food and health care but little opportunity for a truly comfortable and rewarding life.
An important point that hasn't yet been mentioned is that US policy toward Cuba has never made much sense, and this administration's Cuba policy is downright cruel.
