Reply #11: "I don't disqualify anyone here."

Um... Yes you do and virulently. Otherwise you would not have to resort to the type of name calling you use like labeling people as "anti Cuba-ists" when they question the Castro bros. and their rule. That kind of labeling is beyond ridiculous.

You should also note that your painting of a rosy picture and eager to disqualify others is just as highly suspect as those who paint the worst picture possible. I have never been to Cuba but your personal anecdotes are not consistent with pro-Castro friends of mine who have been there and believe the end justifies the means. In any case, the book is pricey for my standards but I purchased it anyway. I will check it out and I also hope to see what dissidents have to say about the process in the book.
