Reply #26: I *don't* think of Castro. Ever wonder why the government does?

Cuba isn't a threat to the US. But Cuba is a relatively successful Latin American country that completely bucks the US "free market" system. So it's a potential ideological threat to some very wealthy interests here in the states.

It's also another potential cheap labor pool for our oh-so-patriotic manufacturers.

And that is why our government has wanted to wreck Cuba for so long.
