Well I live in Florida so there is a lot of Cuban people here and one of my friends happens to be Cuban, he was born here in Florida as well and never visted Cuba but he hates Fidel Castro for no other reason but because his parents do and because of a lot of bad influence the media gives him.... Note: his parents were born in america as well. I decided to talk to my Sociology teacher, who happens to be Cuban, born and raised there, if he hates Fidel Castro, to my surprise he said I don't hate the guy but he a politician. So I decided to research more about Cuban history and this is what I found. The US had Fulgencio Batista as a Puppet and basically controlled Cuba through him...and they made money off of Cuba. Fidel Castro was also against US controlling his country... Note: Also Castro's biography is pretty cool. So Castro Starts a rebellion and it fails miserably and then eventually goes to Mexico and comes back and starts a second rebellion and was winning the war... so The US know that if Batista loses they would lose control of cuba so they help Batista by supplying him planes, ships and tanks. In March 1958 The US tell Bastista to old an election because they didnt want Castro to gain control so he does and the Cuban people Boycotted voting. When Castro came to power he also ended Segregation. and Also Cuba has a Free Education service till this day. Also Some of the laws that castro passed Upseted the Us..because if forced them to give up there land that they had there to the cuban people.... There is alot more information but its late.... But one important thing to metion is that the US Embargoed Cuba to try to punish Castro for making them lose a hold on Cuba and all the money they lost investing in it... Im not saying Fidel Castrol is a Saint or is the best leader ever, nor that he is the devil. I personally think that the US tries to make him look bad on purpose and brainwash us into thinking that he is bad... Sure he may be a Communist but so is china and we dont embargo them so thats not a good enough reason to say he is bad. Also there are/were alot worse dictators then him...one of them happens to be dead because a rebellion. I think the worst thing he did was actually stand up to the US.... If you want to read his Bio http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/COLDcastroF.html |

-reads first few paragraphs.- -skips rest to read after this post- Personally, I don't know much about him. But the reason the US Government hates him, is for supporting Communism. The US people hate him because he's a Dictator.. and Americans hate Dictatorships with out logical reason. I wouldn't know why Cubans hate him, but those are the reasons the US, and it's people do. |

Isn't that guy dead? anyways Ya know there was a time where we couldn't trade with Cuba. Fidel Castro was still the man in charge at that time. I'm guessing his hatred for America appeared somewhere near the Spain controversy. Idk much about it, it's not really in High School Books. |

China also didnt have Nukes aimed at our white house from their country.(cuban missile crises) Thats a reason not to like him IMO, helping our enemy, making him not our friend. |

He isn't dead his brother has taken over for him, who is slightly more better then Fidel and is willing to give into the US's negations(Do what we say or well keep trying to kill you with exploding cigars like we do your brother). |

The US have also tried to assassinate him before hand as well and try to control cuba again.... but its was not a smart move on his part to point missiles at the US. |

His actions toward the U.S almost started a WWIII. Probably resented from what he did in the Cold War by siding with Russia and pointing missiles at us. Isn't that valid enough reason? Although, he seemed to be a great leader to his country. |

Cuba is just an island so of course European-like countries want to take over it. I'm assuming USA was involved with the whole Spain-Cuban thing revolution and wanted a piece of the land after Spain left Cuba alone. This made the Cubans angry because USA was trying to make Cuba another Puerto Rico. Fidel Castro hated USA. But really, to point missiles was probably dumbest bullcrap ever to even attempt. Especially since Cuba's military sucks compared to USA's military, weapon access, and scientific prowess. |

Actually Griffin, to correct you, Cuba was supplied missiles through Russia, as well as weapons and the whole 9 yards. And at the time, Russia and the U.S. were in an Arms Race. And russia's technology was roughly 6 monthes- 1 year behind U.S. Technology.... SO there wasnt much difference in military power... And Fidel was an excellent strategist. |

The US is also very iffy on China.. and by Embargo, do you mean dock our ships there, and pretty much occupy the country? I think it has something to do with every european country doing that, back when China was defenseless.. Now it has Nukes.. |
