Not so.  Many Cubans are happy with their lives in paradise.  Two hours of work
per day and 22 for free time in which to study for free for ever...doesn't sound
totally bad to me.  (Though I'd really want reliable power and a fat pipe.)

I hear healthcare is better than many Americans have too. Perhaps if Bush lifted

Without sanctions, Castro would be history by now.
