Reply #17: Batista v castro [View All]

[mamameow]

i am not from cuba but was in high school in fort lauderdale during Batista's reign and had many friends who escaped with their families from Batista. Batista was our dictator, our murderous dictator. one friend said it was not uncommon to wake up in the night to hear voices in your yard. it was very dangerous to look out but those that did watched Batista's army digging mass graves, sometimes hundreds of bodies. were buried. you did not speak about this.

castro was a liberator, he was for the masses, not like this country who supported Batista for the rich and riches of cuba. yet castro has been painted by our politicians as a criminal. all he did was give this government the "dirty bird". this country has been in a snit ever since. what has this embargo done for us? it gave the gop votes. i for one cannot wait to travel to cuba, maybe will have some surgery and dental work done there for a fraction of the cost than the u.s. my parents vacationed there and found the country and the ordinary people there wonderful. hooray!!!!!
