36. i guess you have to tell yourself something. Anyway, Fidel can go
almost anywhere in the world except the US and be greeted warmly. Not so with our dictator. And for a "dictator" his country has a higher literate rate than the US, much better health access for the poor, and lower infant mortality rate than the US, and free education through college. Of course, the US has done a very effective job through embargo of keeping the economy surpressed but look what they have accomplished despite this. Given half the chance as Iraq, Cuba would be a glowing, humane nation. Of course, we want to criticize any head of state who tries to surpress the overthrow of his government unless it's dictator we like or like to use...like say Musharaff and the UAEs and Saudis.
