I'm not concerned with paranoid fantasies.

Castro is a dictator. But in the broader scope of history, he'll always
be a minor player.

Yu have any clue as to how many more people were slaughtered by right-
wing dictators in Haiti, Central and South America?

Let's look at Pinochet in Chile, who right-wingers still praise.
Pinochet far outstrips the brutality of Castro's regime.

Which BTW would never have got in had the US stopped supporting the Mob-
corrupted Battista right-wingers.
