Although he has his point, Castro is a dictator. Ok, under a great pressure by the Americans. But a dictator. Cuba is dying of poverty, and young girls prefer to be prostitutes and marry to 65 years old Europeans in order to leave Cuba than staying in the country. And yes, Cuba has great Universities for everyone, everyone can be a doctor, an architect, an orchestra conductor. But only if he belongs to the Regime.
A friend of mine, a journalist, took a sabbatic year to go and live in Cuba while he was preparing a book. He was Pro-Castro. Absolutely. He went there to write a good book about the Castro regime. After six months, he was tired of the regime, Castro, the dictatorship. Why? Well, we had Franco her for almost 40 years. I remember that, in our history books, Franco was not Franco. Franco was "El Caudillo" (Like Hitler was Der Führer or Mussoline was Il Duce). Castro is "El Salvador de la Patria" (The Patriot Savior), like Jesuchrist is "The Messiah".
That doesn't so good when you're living under a dictatorship. The history books in Cuba are not history books, but just a bunch of dogmas, almost religious dogmas, that you have to believe in blind-kind. If you don't, you're an enemy of the Regime, hence: a suspicion, a terrorist.
In the defense of Cuba, I have to say that the politics of USA against Cuba has been, are, and will be criminal, brutal and heartless. You can't condemn a whole country to starvation because you don't like its leader. From Kennedy to Bush, Cubans have been suffering the hate of the American Administration, which is brutal.
Funny... or sad, the way the Cubans offered their help to the New Orleans victims in a kind of great solidarity. Because I have to say this: I don't like Castro at all, but there's in Cuba this mentality of helping each others, if you now about a disaster, you're the first one going to help. I don't think this belongs to the Castro regime, but the Cuban identity. I know a lot of Cubans and they react like this ALWAYS. It's in their blood.
I reject Castro. But I love Cubans. For me, one of the best people all over the world, their music, their smiles, their solidarity, their good humour, their happiness even in the worst moment.
I'm sorry that the American Administration is doing so much harm to the Cubans. They have nothing to do with Castro. They have a lot of things to do with LIFE.

The US doesn't trade with Cuba. Not trading with a state is hardly criminal. Come on, what's the matter with you? I think the policy is stupid, but it's not criminal. There is no embargo on food or anything else being enforced on Cuba. The US doesn't trade with Cuba, but plenty of others do.

Indeed I was travelling the road from Jijiga to Dire Dawa only 6 months ago. Lots of old wreckage from the war. The Somalis had a LOT of armor. In that terrain (wide open, pretty much desert) it was clearly armor country. And so, while the Somali force wasn't all that big, it had a lot of tanks, which the Ethiopians did not.
The Cubans dropped an airborne division behind the Somali lines, cutting the supply lines. As anyone who knows anything about warfare can tell you, mechanized formations require A LOT of fuel, food and ammo. Particularly the former. Cut off their supply lines and things get real ugly, real fast. Had it not been for Cuban intervention Somalia would have taken Dire Dawa and that would have been all she wrote. The rail line to Addis would have been cut, and Mengistu would have been in real political trouble (as it was, he barely escaped unscathed).
