As Fidel Castro steps off his final place in the Cuban government (Apr. 19), giving his secretarial duties to Raul, you can't help but think "was he good or not"

I personally don't blatantly hate him like many others, since I see it in a third person. Actually, I think if the US wouldn't have put the trade embargoes on Cuba he wouldn't have unleashed the monster within himself, but just had been "another dictator" causing problems in the world, kind of like how Qaddafi was able to go for so long, but Qaddafi was a US pawn for oil, they wouldn't want to do what they did to Cuba to Libya, yet since Cuba really didn't have any significance, as the documentary below says, they COULD do it. As for economy, even without it, it would probably end up like any other communists countries of the past, or China, put down wages. Really the only reason China succeeds with its policies is that immense population


I actually found a very good documentary that seems to be leaned more on HIS side, obviously not stating his mistakes at all

Given that he was butcher I think he would have been the monster he always would have been.

Without the embargo, we would have just been subsiding his atrocities. I chortled at been just another Qaddafi. Heck, he is just another Pol Pot too. :lol:
Also Qaddafi has always been an antagonist to the US. What you mean to say is Europe's pawn for oil.

Anywho, is there is anyone to blame besides the butcher himself, I would go with the USSR for supporting hime.

Because he had oil he was somewhat defended by the NATO forces, much like how the Saudi government is COMPLETELY dependent on NATO
