Goodbye, Fidel

The fascist blood pressure went through the ceiling this morning on C-Span, talking about Fidel. The brown shirts were apoplectic about people pointing out Cuba's achievements in health care and education. 'But he was a dictator, he killed millions of his people!'

Granted, Cuba under Fidel was not a free country. However, it is not accurate to say that he killed millions.

Anyway if you object to Fidel's tyranny, why don't you object to the far more brutal dictatorships in Guatemala, Honduras, etc.? Those dictatorships killed far more people than Fidel's, and they provided absolutely nothing in the way of health care and education.

Constructive engagement, anyone?
