I don't necessarily agree with a letter of support for Castro. I'm of the opinion that our uneven and harsh treatment of the Cuban goverment in comparison with China deserves to be reexamined. I also think that our policy towards Cuba has done more harm than good. While I would not want to live in Cuba, many people that live in Cuba are suffering now not because Castro didn't live up to his promises for the new Cuba, but because the United States has made it impossible for the Cuban government to generate the income necessary to support the country.

The US consistently supports dictatorships until said dictatorships do not simply follow orders and work for the benefit of the US government.

Democracy doesn't work everywhere, and the reason for this is because not every country is blessed with natural resources and a seemingly endless labor supply. That being said, Casto's civil right abuses and inhuman treatment of Cuba's citizens warrant harsh sentiment, but I don't see where his actions are any different from the countless other nations that our Government provides aid to.

The only difference is that Castro has not caved in and his defiance and ability to stay in power is a thorn in the US's side. The USSR came down before him, that has to hurt.

* claps * that is one of the biggest problems with our government they continue to make the same mistakes over and over.

China's treatment of people is 10 times worse than Cuba's and Cuba is pretty bad. but Cuba doesn't have much to offer America ( cept some tasty cigars).
Let them discover Oil in Cuba , the government would be tripping over themselves to release all the blockades on them.

look at all the countries that we have helped get freedom that have turned there backs on us as soon as we leave.

This is why I hate when a republican gets into office they concentrate on policing the world even though or domestic affairs are going down the shitter.
