You claim to be democratic, but you aren’t. May I know why was that embargo on Cuba? Because they chose a way other than your capitalism??

If you were democratic, you’d accept people the way they run their countries, but no, you want everyone to be like you are, or else boycott him. Dictatorship at it’s finest.

Okay, I kind of take back some of what I said earlier, but still, the article talks of Castro as a dictator “violating human rights”, when I don’t see the USA that much cares about human rights unless when it suits its needs.

Hussein-
Perhaps you should read the article again before you continue to post comments. So far your comments have made little sense and don’t seem to be based on what is actually written.

Agreed on all counts, Patrick. Sometimes I let my emotions get the better of me when I read drivel like that.

Hello Patrick A, I see you are the one who wrote that poor article. Don't you think it is very rude and un human to wish death on someone the way you did up there??

Or is the "evil communist" thing you Americans have, like you are the "good" ones and everybody else is an evil spirit.

The "we are good, they are evil" mentality most Americans suffer from is shown at it's best in this poor article.
