Blockade is an embargo, and Helm Burton is fine..., Cuba is our enemy, like Hugo Chavez, the Venezuelan-Bolivarian anti-Imperialism and anti-Bush, bad guy.

Answer 1

I love to see people blame Castro as if his rise to power developed in a vacuum. and everything was hunky dory in Cuba before the "bad" man Fidel Castro Ruz came into power
In 1934 Fulgencio Batista took over the Cuban government in what became known as "The Revolt of the Sergeants." He ruled Cuba with an iron fist, and with the full blessing and endorsement of the United States government, who saw him as a stabilizing force with respect for American interests, who lowered the value of property they owned on the island so they played little or no taxes at all. Batista established lasting relationships with organized crime, and under his guardianship Havana became known as "the Latin Las Vegas." Meyer Lansky and other prominent gangsters were heavily invested in Havana, and politicians from Batista on down took their cut.
Through Lansky, the mafia knew they had a friend in Cuba. It was here that Lansky gave permission to kill Bugsy Siegel. Many of Batista's enemies faced the same fate as the ambitious Siegel. Nobody seemed to mention the many brutal human rights abuses that were a regular feature of Batista's private police force. Batista remained in power until 1944.
Batista again staged a coup in 1952 ousting Carlos Prio and becoming dictator of Cuba. After this point, Batista abandoned the Cuban constitution by allowing only staged elections where his victory was guaranteed. Large American corporations grew rich from Cuba's resources while the people of the country remained poor. Batista did not offer health care or education to his people At the time of his ousting it was estimated that 92% of the country was illiterate and without access to the simplest of medical care.
Batista was ousted by Castro and the Cuban Revolution and left the country on January 1 1959.
The US has no one to thank but it own arrogance for the communist influence that exists in Cuba, in spite of what Cubanazos in Miami love to spout.
Castro was sworn in as Prime Minister of Cuba Feb 1959
Friction with the U.S. developed as the new government began expropriating property owned by major U.S. corporations, such as United Fruit and announced plans to base the compensation on the artificially low property valuations that the companies themselves had kept to a fraction of their true value so that their taxes would be negligible
Between 15 April and 26 April, 1959 Castro and a delegation of industrial and international representatives visited the U.S. as guests of the Press Club. Castro hired one of the best public relations firms in the United States for a charm offensive visit by Castro and his recently initiated government. He was refused a meeting with President Eisenhower. Rebuffed, he soon joined forces with the Soviet leader, Nikita Khrushchev who was looking to gain a foothold in the western hemisphere.
It is also stinking sad that a country that the US has enforced an embargo on for over 48 years still comes in at 39th in the world for healthcare and the supposed most powerful nation in the world, the US comes in at 37th

Chavez is an idiot and will implode soon enough. He is trying to model himself after Castro from his younger days but won't be able to pull it off

Answer 2

not really. We could absolutely crush them in a war. Besides, we have a base there, so they're more of an ally than a threat.

Answer 3

Yes, so far, and Chavez is making a place for himself in the enemy category.

Answer 4

OK. Thanks for the hierarchy. Whomever the president says is bad must be bad, until the president says they are good. Then they must be good.

So basically, whatever the president says, all good Americans should bow, kiss his hand, and accept as the reality of the universe.


edit: As you can see, sometimes smart people just aren't that smart.

Answer 5

Just becuase we currently have immigration concerns doesn't mean that Americans hate Mexicans. Just the opposite exists. Mexico and Canada are our (US) closest friends.

Answer 6

I think all persons who claim to be hypenated americans are the threat. Be an AMERICAN or move to some other land

Answer 7

I have yet to read a question of yours that makes sense.

Answer 8

True, thanks.
