Gore fought for persecuted transexuals and Hillary campaigned for a woman who lied about genital mutilation. We KNOW what Castro has done. I do have a problem with the Castro supporters in Florida. Since they are here to do Castro-anti-American mischief and face no threats back in Cuba.

Cookies With Castro? What's Next, Nap Time With Hitler?
"In March 2003," reports Cubafacts.com, "the government of Cuba arrested dozens of journalists, librarians, and human rights activists and charged them with sedition. After summary trials in which fundamental rights of due process were denied, the accused were sentenced to prison terms ranging from 15 to 28 years. In all, 78 journalists, librarians, and dissidents were sentenced to a collective total of more than 1,400 years in Cuba's gulag."

The Associated Press, meanwhile, describes a visit to Cuba by a group of Americans including Eric Eller, an assistant professor of economics and finance at Iowa's Buena Vista University:

Delegation members and the professors also met President Fidel Castro. Eller said members had cookies and ice cream with the president. "It was crazy sitting around the table eating ice cream with one of the most historic people of the past century," he said.

But Castro is a much better propagandist than Saddam.
