Quote:I disagree strongly with this putting of Castro in one sentence with Saddam or Osama (I guess you mean hussein and bin laden...). Compared to the US supported rightwing extremist junta governments in south america, Castro did a good job.What a remarkable perspective on how Castro gained, consolidated, and maintainted power. I say remarkable in an effort to remain civil. I suggest you do a little digging on Castro's energetic (backed by Soviet resources) attempts to export revolution in the Americas and Africa (Angola for 50, Alex) for about 20 years. The export was via standard Marxist means (the red in the flag is oddly enough the symbolic color of blood. Go figure.)
