Comments on: Fidel Castro Resigned, Now What? http://www.collegecandy.com/news/7165 Wed, 3 Dec 2008 06:33:05 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.1 By: M.L. http://www.collegecandy.com/news/7165#comment-70334 M.L. Thu, 21 Feb 2008 16:53:23 +0000 http://www.collegecandy.com/news/7165#comment-70334 Many people see Castro as a dependable ruler and the U.S has left out a lot of its own questionable activities towards Cuba when it speaks of "terrible dictators". Like every government there are positive and negative things that emerge from policy. At least Cuba elected Castro, continually, as opposed to Bush who didn't even win the U.S. elections. Before blaming everything on Castro look at the positive things he has done for the country. Cuba produces more doctors every year then any other Latin American nation. It has the healthiest economy, the best health care system in the Western Hemisphere and an advanced education system that rivals Canada's and the United States.

That is, by far, the most ignorant comment I have ever heard made on Cuban politics. I am a 20 year old Cuban-American from Miami, having been educated in the best institution in South Florida and by a deeply politically aware family I know this to be totally false. How can any self-proclaimed "politically minded" person ever utter such blasphemy? Fidel Castro is a cruel and hateful tyrant. His rule in Cuba is not one that was democratically achieved, rather taken un-justly! The people of Cuba have suffered more than any of you can imagine. You will never understand what it is like to have your home, your work, your LIFE taken from you from one day to the next. Not even I can, and my family LIVED it. It is disgusting to see such ignorance rampant in the world about Fidel, Che Guevara and communism. It's very easy to live in a free country, and play the part of a revolutionary (as so many like to come off as with their Che Guevara t shirts). Do you even know what Che Guvera, Fidel and communism stand for? It isn't possible, because if you did, you stand for murder, hatred and the deprivation of humanity. Do a little research, speak to the REAL Cubans and then maybe can you give an informed opinion. “At least Cuba elected Castro, continually…” That is, by far, the most ignorant comment I have ever heard made on Cuban politics.

There have been lots of patients in Venezuela who have died because of the inexperience of the doctors that came from Cuba... Not trying to offend here, just sayin' that the situation their country is going through is not the best, and I certainly hope that they soon establish a democracy and have the freedom to choose their leaders!!! and.. what about the doctors.. so here is the deal, cuban doctors are emmigrating to Venezuela, and let me tell you, as someone who has actually BEEN to a cuban doctor… their education is not the best, and they are certainly not well prepared!

Because even if you actually knew a lot about him supported his crimes and the numerous muerders he ruthlessly committed, you'd know that he'd feel offended having his face plastered on a shirt that is being bought and sold all over the world... he was a little anti-capitalism... remember? oh, and I suppoert EVERY SINGLE WORD Frances Hassun said… This new generation of american citizens NEEDS to get some facts straight, do some research, study, get involved and actually INFORM yourself before making such ignorant statements… oh and BTW: STOP WEARING CHE GUEVARA SHIRTS!!!

However, they are my opinions and I stand by them. Yes I have been to Cuba and I have friends in Cuba. I have seen Cuban doctors, and I have spoken to real Cubans. Don't assume just because I don't think Castro is a murdering dictator that I think he is the be all end all of leaders. As for being educated, and being ignorant, I do take offense to that. I'm in University, I'm the same age as you and I have been taking Latin American classes for three years now. Many of the problems with Cuba have been contributed to by intervention FROM the United States, and that is something we cannot deny. Check the released CIA files and you will see what kind of nice, activities we Americans have been carrying out to "help out". By the way, I don't own a Che Guevera t-shirt.
