Castro was openly and avowedly a Communist and worked closely with Che, another Communist. He ran the nation as any other commuunist nation. It worked well while he had Soviet money. It`s fallen apart since then.

As for US citizens, most don`t care about Cuba, and those that do overwhelmingly think it`s dumb that we embargo Cuba while giving China "Most Favored Nation" status.

There`s only one reason Cuba gets treated the way it does: Florida`s influence in the Presidential race. If that ever changes (long overdue) and politicians tell the Cuban exiles to FO, Cuba would be open and Communism would die there.

Your ignorance shows you`re "anti-american", though you deny it. Educate yourself. You Western Asians are woefully ignorant about the rest of the world.
