Flame away but I never understood the Cuban exiles

9. So,because Batista was a bastard, these people should not be upset about property stolen,

families in prison, and lives uprooted. They are somehow guilty for Batista's crimes.

They were refugees, like the Palestinians, like Jews and gypsies after WWII, like a million who fled the Iraq war, like all the American Indians, the Vietnamese, the boat people, and they lost everything.

I don't get the callous give a shit attitude about people.

It is not necessary to agree with their politics to understand that they were screwed quite royally by Castro and his regime.

I am glad that Obama has moved to change our relationship, but I still feel for the refugees and understand why many of the older Cubans are upset.

I think that is called empathy.
