Continuous revolution IS an excuse to bypass the people. one Castro used and one that Robert Mugabe In Zimbabwe uses.

Furthermore I will concede that Cuba and Venezuela, Have had much undue interference from The US. But I am sick of excuses.

If they really wanted to insure safe and fair elections, and a smooth transition they should have a real election. And invite the UN to help I am sure they would love to catch the US with there hands in the cookie jar.

The revolution was about the people, right? Or was that just typical South American dictator crap?

A new leader for Cuba and a new leader for the US Cuba wins. The American public is getting tired of these old grudges sustained by rich ***'s.

And Cuba has more then proven that they don't need us. I think a new fresh legitimate leader for Cuba Is just what the doctor ordered.

Bosco touched on this. It is a point that is never picked up on, but ought to be when people give it all this democracy talk.

Cuba has abandoned "democracy", okay fair enough. But Cuba is faced with being overrun by an empire. The other noteable period of history in which the same can be said of is WW2. The UK was faced with an aggressive empire who wanted to control it. The UK response - abandon democracy, throw the brownshirt Hitlerites in prison, after all they were in support of the empire who looked to destroy what Britain provided its citizens. Cuba does the same. They should not be attacked for this, they should be applauded as Churchill was.
