154. Countries have the right to determine their own destiny

The US does not own Cuba and doesn't have the right to say how it is run.

The Cuban people fought and won their revolution against a corrupt dictator propped up by our government, funded/bribed by US corporate interests and mobster casino owners.

Cuba stuck to it's guns and principles of it's revolution and developed relationships with the rest of the world, and gained much respect by many times sending their doctors to other countries/continents to help in crisis situations — the most recent being the ebola crisis in Africa.

It would have been so much easier to bow down and denounce the courage the Cuban people had in overthrowing a vile dictator by renouncing their revolution to curry favor with the US but they had national pride.

I commend them.

I look at it as Cuba won, not Castro won.

And incidentally, Obama chalks up another win as well, to the consternation of the repugs, and quite surprisingly, many so-called progressives.

What's up with that? Guess the 50 some years of anti-Cuban propaganda by out media and pols was swallowed without
question by a lot of people who should know better of the motives of corporate imperialism.
