While I don't agree with arresting or sanctioning travellers to Cuba, I certainly agree that the end of this dictator's reign is long overdue. He lied to the Cuban people about everything and then enslaved them. A lawyer, doctor, construction worker, or shop owner can't make a living, but the street sluts and cabies make a comparable fortune catering to foreign travellers -- often, a whore makes in one night what a doctor/lawyer makes in a week in Cuba.
As well, I am certain I know more Cuban exiles than any of IWF's other 13,000 members, and will say without a doubt that things need to change there. Cuba was a haven -- a wonderful tropical paradise with a good economy and a lot of natural beauty. Castro ruined that. There is still a lot of beautiful countryside and mountains there, but the communist government very quickly turned into a brutal one-man-serving dictatorship. I for one hope we reinitiate our attempts to assassinate him (which were given up after several CIA SNAFUS in the 60s and 70s.
We owe it to Cuba, and to the millions of Cubans in S. Florida, to finish what JFK started but balked on.
[edit]P.S. if your comeback to this has anything to do with the US embargo, let me be the first to preemptively tell you you are an idiot who is analyzing trees while missing the forest.
