3. I don't qualify - I just want to ask you to consider something.
Edited on Sat Jun-10-06 07:51 PM by higher class
I want to suggest that you concentrate on investigating what has become an accepted version of history - that Castro did not become a Revolutionary in order to team up with the USSR. For your own edification (and starting point) on understanding Cuba, read for your self and determine for yourself whether you believe the 'other story' - that the U.S. rebuffed him after Batista was forced out and he had little choice but to team up with the USSR for sustainability and survival (plus the convenience for the USSR of 'sponsoring' the country). If you study Castro's origins as leader, remember that the U.S. included communism in every rationale for existence during those times. Every exile was labeled a refugee from Communism. 'Red' carpets were laid down and stayed down for 47 years - long after the fall of the Berlin Wall.

Who pressured the WH into rebuffing Castro and his revolutinary partners? The trio comprising Intelligence (heavy CIA), the military-industrial complex, the Mafia. They are the ones who will be pounding the doors before Castro is buried, plus the Cuban-Americans. However, all we will hear about is Venezuela, Chavez, and/or Bolivia (both only recently considered). Then Colombia will be thrown in the pot for the big drug scare.

Check it out. Consider it for your starting point for understanding what is going on now and what will be going on.
