Good Question, well lets see how my answer flys on ATS....

Well Cuba was controlled by the Mafia under Mendoza? who was friendly to American Interests, the Island became so corrupt it was the Rivera of America basically, we put in Gitmo at the turn of the century and it was basically, a state or territory of The United States of America... remember the U.S.S. Main.....
well the Island was throughly corrupt by the time Castro rebelled.... and since Cuba was a small Island word spread really fast that Castro was going to un-corrupt Cuba for the people... and America or should I say the Mafia didn't want that to happen so the basically, funded Mendoza to even more criminal behavour - locking people up for speaking up... and then people started dying for basic human rights... one pivital point was reached when people started dying for Castro... and it snowballed from there.... Castro was Pro American, but America would not help him free the people from this tyrannt Mendoza... 1958 - 1960 Cuba was courted by Russia and in 1961 or 62 came the Mafia's the bay of pigs... Kennedy found out about it and stopped it... and proceeded to a climax in 1962 with a nuclear standoff with Russia... and America does not want you to learn the history of what we did to the Cubans thats why we dont have contact with them anylonger.... I can wait till Castrol and his brother Rual gets sacked... I'm going down there and buy me plantation... for $5.00 ... and man oh man do they have some seriously old Cars still running down there... can anyone say EXPORT....

Lmao I swear, on this board, EVERYTHING is a Bush's fault, even something that began way back in the 1950s.
I dont like the man either but come on, give it a rest already geez

My theory on why the US's policy against Cuba has been so negative over the past 50+ years is due to Castro allowing the placement of Soviet Nuclear Missiles in its country, which backfired of course, followed by over 50 years of being a puppet of the Soviet Union.

Seriously, the world nearly faced Armageddon in the early 60's and Cuba was just as responsible as the Soviet Union was.

As far as the cars go, from what I understand they have nice new cars from their friends in south america.

And some of the maintained ones have actually created some of the best machinists in the world in Cuba.

shame we still have an embargo. And it is so long no one remembers why.

I would love to see Cuba. Went around it once on a cruise ship. Seems a shame to be so close yet so far away.

It is an old ideology that needs to be let go. Considering what the rest of the world is doing, Cuba is the least of our worries.

What the US (and the rest of the world) is still doing to Cuba, is a crime against all that live there.


Now that I agree with.
Sanctions like the ones that weve had against Cuba for half a century are a bunch of BS and very wrong in my opinion.
Who ever thought up the idea to punish the people because of their dislike for the Govt is an idiot.
I guess the theory behind it is that the people would rise up and overthrow the Govt so that the sanctions would be lifted but to my knowledge, this has never happened and probably never will.
If anything it creates a backlash against the country that has put the embargo in place.

Come on, if we can have semi-normal relations with Viet Nam then SOMETHING can be done about Cuba
