Thanks for this post, Edward. This guy's got some right on things to say. Love the last bit esp. The US exports weapons, the cubans export doctors. And yes, I know the US exports some doctors, too but not anywhere near as many as it does weapons. Anyway, Fidel led his people to freedom from the capitalist tyranny that existed before the Revolution and he stood up strong to the big bully to the North. Viva, Fidel!
