Speilberg is not just a regular admirer of Fidel Castro. He has the highest regard for the Cuban tyrant. The director of "Saving Private Ryan" once spent a number of hours chatting with Castro in Havana as his guest of honor, and ever since he has done as much as anybody -in and out of Hollywood- to promote and propagandize the totalitarian agenda of the aging dictator.

Speilberg stated that his hours visiting with Castro were "the most important moments of his life." If we take that statement at face value, Castro's visit was more important to Spielberg than the time when his son was born and more intense occasion than those when he received awards for his artistic achievements. Could he be ignorant of the fact that he is befriending a Caribbean Hitler? How could anyone supposedly so sensitive to human suffering, feel that close to such a mass killer?

Worse, Speilberg knows for sure that Bin Laden is not the top terrorist in recent history. Castro long ago earned that dubious title, and Speilberg cannot claim ignorance of the fact. Had the Cuban despot got his way during the so-called "Missile" crisis of 1962, the loss of life and destruction in the United States would have made the tragedy of September 11 look like child's play. The record of Castro's vile wishes, confirmed by the former Soviet bosses, is at the same time horrendous and indisputable.

The only difference in fortunes between Bin Laden and Castro is that the Taliban demonstrated to be a much more reliable ally than The Soviet Union. The Afghan rulers, prime state terrorists themselves, backed Alqaeda to the bitter end. The entrenched Soviets, fat and corrupted to the core and with its own survival at stake, fortunately balked at Castro's extreme demands in 1962.

However, that undeniable fact is either ignored or purposely disregarded, not only by Speilberg, but also by almost every other Hollywood "celebrity." Many of them are in open political cahoots with the "Comandante."
