7. Well, if the Bay of Pigs invasion had gone as advertised to them

they all feel they'd have gotten everything back, including another tinpot dictator from within their ranks. That's why they're passionately anti Democratic Party, Kennedy thought it was a goofy idea and didn't want to pick a fight with Russia, so he overrode the CIA and military.

They've been twisted up with rage for 50 years now, pretending Batista Cuba was the Garden of Eden, seeing everything through foggy rose colored glasses, missing the misery most Cubans existed in.

They have never come to terms with losing, which makes them a great fit with the spiteful Republican Party.

I'm delighted the hard freeze is over. I'm delighted the embargo will eventually be lifted when we get a sane Congress. This is at least 23 years overdue, it should have happened in December 1991 when the USSR broke apart.
