I wouldn't give the regimes you list following Castro's the time of day, but there's much to admire in Cuba - First World-level social indicators, to start with, enough to earn James Wolfensohn's praise. And I don't like to see dissidents thrown in jail, but much of that sort of repression was ultimately manufactured in Washington, not Havana. Or do you think the U.S. was right to spend the last 40+ years trying to kill Castro?
