17. It is illegitimate to defend a disctator by stating the regime
he replaced was "worse." Batista sucked. But must be joking to state that Castro might give democracy a chance. That is laughable.

Castro thinks of himself as The Revolution. Without him, there isn't one. Without him, there is no Cuba.

Why do you think my people are literally killing themselves to leave that country? It isn't because we love the US (don't get me wrong, I think of the US as my country, not Cuba). He is killing us.

I don't like the embargo because it hurts ordinary Cubans.

But understand this, Castro is a murderer. Period. He will never leave office until he is dead or too sick to defend his position.
