the funny thing is that when castro dies his brother is likly to take his place and he is a bigger tyrant than castro
also if the US hadn't put a trade embargo on cuba the cuban people would be in a much better situation.
people also forget that the people Castro overthrew where worse than castro himself. Castro refused to allow the us to influence cuban politics, in other words castro belived in comunisum and the US feared comunism, and still does, so we closed off the boarders with the trade embargo trying to force castro to undo the comunistic style goverment. personally i give castro some props for not allowing the us to influence cuba, but i don't agree with much else that he has done, i do however think its time to end the embargo on cuba and open up travel and trade there.
but thats just my 2 cents
