Leave Cuba alone....

I wish we Americans would leave Cuba alone except to curb any attempts by the Miami malcontents to stir the military/political pot. Whether we like it or not, Castro has been a benevolent dictator of Cuba and most Cubans seem to be happy with his revolutionary government. Cubans have fared much better under his rule than they did with the sugar plantation economy and virtual slave labor before the revolution.

I remember that we thought that the only reason he survived was his support from the USSR, but when they collapsed Cuba kept right on prospering for such a small island with limited resources and very large enemies, primarily US!

Obviously, the country can take care of itself and it has many friends, especially in South America which is generally pretty sour on American attempts to dominate the continent by keeping the rich and powerful rich and powerful and the poor as poor as possible. We've always been good at that even here at home.

For example, compare Cuba with the sad plight of Haiti or even Puerto Rico which suffers from American corporate dominance. It is by any standard, a success story and a thorn in our side.
