25. Goodbye, Lenin.
A nation doesn't have to be a democracy to be in the UNHRC. Ergo, your argument is flawed. Further, Cuba lacks a democracy because Cubans who don't happen to be communists aren't allowed to express their ideas in an uncontrolled free media, nor are they able to form groups and associations to support candidates who want to dispose of Castroite communism. Sorry kid, but my experience and knowledge trump yours any time of the day.

Fortunately, and hopefully very soon, the ancient ones who have done so much to hurt Cuba and its people, will die, and a new generation of leaders will emerge, at which time I'm sure I'll see the same thing happen as I saw in Eastern Europe and the Former Soviet Union, cheering crowds as the statues of Marx, Engels and Lenin were torn down.
