So, you believe everything the U.S. government and media, plus Miami 
Cubans have been pounding into your head all these decades?  
Suckerrrrrrrr!!!!!

To see what a colossal lie the anti-Castro line is, it's only necessary 
to compare Communist Cuba to pre-Communist Cuba and to all the 
anti-Communist regimes the U.S. has been propping up in Latin America all 
this century.
