Pleeze, he didn't even execute the Bay of Pigs traitors! I won't bother telling the loonies in Miami anything; they're mostly descendants of the cronies of Batista that had turned Cuba into one big gambling casino and whorehouse. VIVA Fidel!

Personally I'm very interested in hearing the story of someone that has actually lived or lives in Cuba under Castro's regime. So please do go on. Do you live there now? If not when did you live there and for how long?

Originally posted by maverick28Isn't it true that the biggest problem for internet access in Cuba is lack of bandwidth because of the US embargo which makes access to fiber optics impossible?

In addition to criminalizing access to the Internet,
Cuba also persecutes a group of volunteers who have
opened uncensored libraries throughout the island in
an effort to challenge government control of
information. A number of Cuba's independent
librarians, now serving 20-year sentences following
one-day trials, have been adopted as "prisoners of
conscience" by Amnesty International, which is
demanding their immediate release.
