ILLUSIONS VS. REALITY
An interesting observation on what's going to be another problem the US will be facing in the not too distant future. A lot of the anti-Castro exile crowd in Florida are delusional. As cited here, just because El Jefe goes into the ground doesn't mean the machine he created disappears. The funniest thing about all the pro-Castro crap I've heard over the years was how his defenders ignored the basic screw job Castro pulled on the revolution by becoming a willing serf to his Soviet overlords. Pretty much everything he tried failed miserably, but the overlords provided him with the means to retain power because of Cold War ideology. They never gave a damn about Cuba other than its strategic value. When the Soviet collapsed, Cuba was on its own and we know how that's playing out.
But if the exile crowd thinks everything will turn on a dime once he's gonecthey're dumber than rocks.
