Everyone wants a magic bullet-just get rid of Castro and Cuba will be a wonderful place. That's what we said about the Duvaliers in Haiti, too. But the problems in this region are deep, systemic problems reinforced by constant foreign intervention. The only thing that will save these countries is if the rest of the world just backs the fuck off and lets them collapse, rebuild from the ashes in an organic or natural way, and develop on their own. Our repeated attempts at "development" never work or serve only to prop up some insane monster of a leader, whether it be Fulgencio Battista or Papa and Baby Doc.

P.S. Yeah Nixon really wanted to end the war in Vietnam, it was distracting him from his passion of secretly bombing Cambodia and Laos.

Fidel Castro is 86. Socialized medicine seems to have served him just fine.

P.S. We have socialized medicine in this KKKuntree too--it's called Medicare.

It's so fucking lazy to hate on Nixon.

The second Castro dies, let's just end the embargo in return for Cuba holding the GITMO trials for us.
