Fidel Castro, Evil dictator vs Bush?

Question

Fidel Castro, took away property, killed many, sent troops to die in Angola, ruined economy in Cuba. Fool even prohibited tourism for many years. Bush is bad, but not by Castro standards.

Answer 1

I was raised in Cuba during the Batista era, left shortly before the Castro takeover... Cuba was downright live-able back then, even though corrupt to the rafters... they called Batista "evil" back then. Remember the "evil" Shaw of Iran?
you might get a real "peach" like Castro or the Ayatollah.... How do you like those replacements? Be damn careful who you call "evil", Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

Answer 2

But the right wing former Cuban (US backed) Dictator Batista ,who Castro overthrew, was worse than Castro. Bush hasn't overthrown the US Govt. (at least not yet) but his anti-constitutional, anti-freedoms, legally questionable actions & out right lies are just as bad as Castro's or Batista's actions because the US is suppose to be the leader of the free world & Bush has almost completly destroyed that reputation the US has had since WW2. And that's worse than Watergate.

Answer 3

Medical care for one thing, highest proportion of doctors to patients in the world. Cuba has its faults and Castro is partly to blame but the revolution that brought him to power was popular with the majority of the people. The people lived in poverty before hand, the economy was run for the benefit of a very few, corruption was widespread. So Cuba is still third world, it is a dictatorship and there is at best limited freedom of speech/political activity. Well Ive travelled a bit in Africa amongst other places and I have seen much worse communist or otherwise. Id say that Mobutu in Zaire was 10 times worse than Castro and we supported him for years.

Answer 4

Bush didn't take away property but provide an enconmy that prospers so you can but property, i did, thank you bush; he sent troops to Iraq to liberate the people there who are very greatful and to give them a chance for freedom, whether they take it or not is up to them, that is what freedom is; Bush has made our economy strong and prosperous more than ever before and with a jobless reate of less than 4.5%, thank you Bush; and he supports our tourism here and abroad, thak you Bush, Idon't see any correlation at all!

Answer 5

Father Bush is a Criminal, but we can not juge them because US is a bigger force in the world, the use third party to assasinate people in latin america, africa and middle east,The son is a son of a bithc he send people to die in iraq, a coward who never had the courage to do his military service.At least fidel educate the people of cuba who are the most educated in all america continent, people allways forget the contra? Chile, all those innocent lives killed by US paid assasins.!During Batista regime Italian American Mafia invest a lot of money in cuba, and the american foreing policy never like a government who is doing good for his people, they use to say USSR were the ennemy of the world as well as china, why they dont lift the illegal emrgo aigainst cuba? condemmed over 20 yrs by UN , illegal stay in Guantanamo , the contract expire in 1999 ? please read the history, majority of US people are ignorant in international politics, they are concern mostly in their materialistic well being!
