Answer me this: If Castro had been so evil, why after half century of trying to kill him couldn't the US find one person in Cuba who would betray him?
Yes he threw the racketeers out of Cuba, and I'm sure they didn't go voluntarily. Do you believe all the bullcrap about spreading democracy the uS puts out? You don't think they maybe have a reason to vilify a socialist guy with the balls to say hell no we not paying no debt and to tell other third world countries they don't have to pay the west for being independent. I just can't wrap my mind around the idea that you think such a man is evil.
Cuba doesn’t really have anything that the US wants, white sandy beaches =/= oil reserves. No real need to invade or to assassinate. The only ones suffering are the 8 million Cubans that are still on the island.
Castro is, or was, a tyrant. Here is a biography http://www.miamiherald.com/news/nation-w...86483.html that may change your mind.
Excerpts:
"He also was a ruthless dictator, the Maximum Leader who reneged on his promise of free elections, executed thousands of opponents, imprisoned tens of thousands, installed a Communist regime and made his island a pawn in the Cold War. His alliance with the Soviet Union brought the world to the brink of nuclear war in 1962.”
"Roundups of dissidents continued regularly through the final years of Castro’s rule. He might ease the pressure occasionally for public-relations purposes — several hundred prisoners were released in advance of Pope John Paul II’s visit to the island in January 1998 — but inevitably resume when the spotlight moved elsewhere.
“Cuba remains a Latin American anomaly: an undemocratic government that represses nearly all forms of political dissent,” the independent group Human Rights Watch observed in 2008. “Cubans are systematically denied basic rights to free expression, association, assembly, privacy, movement, and due process of law.”
