Not like there has been political violence in Chile, or Argentina, or El Salvador, or Honduras, or Nicaragua, or Haiti, or Panama, or Columbia, or Guatemala, or any number of countries with comparable economies and histories.
That is also why only Cubans risk life and limb to make it to the USA - because Castro made it bad. Before Castro Cuba was a haven of political liberties, free speech, free assembly, etc. Certainly no summary executions, arbitrary imprisoning, or torture in Batista times. And Batista must have been elected, right?[/sarcasm]
Perhaps you would like to make your home in Castro's Paradise. Your comments are offensive to everyone who has suffered under Castro's ruthless dictatorship.
I normally don't like to get into political discussions on BF, that's not why I come here. But your comments, including the use of "sarcasm" reflect an abysmally myopic and ignorant view of Latin America history.
Remember this my friend: Sarcasm is the last refuge of the intellectually bankrupt.
