governmentdirt.com— The contrast between the shrouded Communist Party line and the candor of the kind and hospitable people could not have been starker.

How the hell is poverty created? Poverty is the natural state of man. Only wealth can be created, and capitalism is the single greatest method of creating it. Unfortunately, it isn't very good at distributing it.
The problem is that the embargo has helped Castro immensely. It has kept the island isolated, and gives him a convenient scapegoat to blame all Cuban troubles on.
I've also been to Veradaro and Caya CoCo, regardless of where you go people are kind. I didn't talk about the living conditions, which compared to what we are use to, is really bad.
wageslaven? You've been to Cuba what? Once? And this one time vacation in a tourist hotel and a US passport in your pocket gives you all this untold knowledge? try living there like I did for 36 years as a Cuban! You are wrong in most of your assumptions. There is no truth to your statements of how well we live. What the f**k do you know what Cubans have to live through? Your answers are very insulting. The fact that we do not cry about how we live and are a dignified people does not mean that we are continually starved and repressed. Cuba is doing very well, yeah, so is Haiti and Darfur I guess then too, right?
The embargo was put into place when castro nationalized and stole all the properties belonging to US citizens and large companies. It was the proper thing to do at the time. In my opinion, it lasted way too long and has been maintained by the very companies and people who lost everything, who coincidentally, maintain their level of power over US policy towards Cuba. The only thing the embargo accomplishes today is to make castro look like a hero for withstanding it. Basically, it helps him more than it hurts him.
jodido, if I could guess your ip, I would say it comes right from the state security department in Havana. And if you live in Havana, I know why you call yourself jodido.
