Scowak,

Actually - and perhaps you weren't around then - Castro really did possess fine qualities of leadership when he and Che led the Cuban revolution agianst the Batista government - the one supported by U.S. Sugar, the company that disposessed people of their land and then hired them to work at less than living wages. Unfortunately, when Castro was successful, like so many people, kinda' like dubya, he let the power go to his head, and the rest, as they say, is history.

Sincerely,

Salmo g.
