> He has ruled Cuba for 47 consecutive years--outsmarting countless attempts to dethrone him. He has given cuba a 100% literacy rate and world class medical facilities. He has outlasted 9 U.S. presidents. I'm still waiting to see if he outlasts Barbara Walters. I like him--except the fact that he executes his enemies.
If life under Castro was so great, his people wouldn't be risking life and limb to float out of there to Florida.
