Dictionary definitions are a truly clueless way of making political 
arguments.  However, Castro does not exercise absolute power, not by a 
very long shot.  He originally assumed control with the enthusiastic and 
very widespread support of the Cubans, and today he still has widespread 
support.  Do not, I repeat, do not believe what you read in the U.S. 
media, and if you listen to the voices of refugees (as you should), you 
should also listen to the voices of Cubans who are still in Cuba, as Mike 
Weaver has.

And again, all of Castro's offenses against political freedom are 
insignificant compared to his predecessors and to most of his 
counterparts in U.S.-supported countries in Latin America.
