" few years ago Belafonte was asked about his friend Fidel Castro. Here's a "Cuban leader" (the term used by the late Peter Jennings) who jailed more political prisoners as a percentage of population than Hitler or Stalin. Here's a "Cuban Premier" (as Barbara Walters prefers) who executed more political prisoners in his first year in power than Hitler did in his first five. Here's a "Cuban President" (Dan Rather's term) who jailed or executed any union official, journalist, or political opponent who uttered a peep against him. "

Telling. Read the rest of the article. Good quick read. Thanks.

People should look up Cuba's history in Africa before they label Castro a victim of the US.

Half of the problems Africa now has can be traced to Cuba formenting civil war and supplying military equipment to communist rebels in Africa.
