Ake, if you want to visit Cuba it's easy. And relatively cheap,
I'm told. Quite a tourist destination. Kind of reminds me of
what the Dominican Republic is for Americans.

You're welcome to Fidel. The regime that went before was corrupt,
but he's nothing but an opportunistic dictator who cares more for
power and his ego than he does for his people.

He's proof that power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.

With the right revolution, Cuba could have become what Las
Vegas and Florida are put together, and could have prospered on both
agriculture and tourism. Which then could have benefited her people.

If it's so great there, why do people risk their lives on boats to
try and 'escape?' Why should one even have to 'escape?'
