As for Fidel being a maniac, that is nonsense to say the least. If the "democrats" in the developed world nevermind the third world had made half the social achievements he has, the world would not be in the mess it is. If not for Fidel Cuba would not have more doctors per capita than anywhere else in the world. They wouldn't have done more than any other state in eradicating racism (that is Nelson Mandela's view, not mine). Every person in Cuba would not have the right to free education up to university level, they would not have a lower infant mortality rate than the US, longer life expectancy than in Scotland. For a third world country the achievements of te revolution are nothing short of breathtaking.
