yet you clearly IGNORE the facts i presented and simply provide scant facts, which actually support my claim and then give OPINION that you claim as proof that cuba is better off.
they do not have one of the best h/c systems on the plant, false. all you have is far left wing sources that claim to be truth.
you clearly are letting your socialist bias interfere with critical thinking. castro is a tyrant, as much a tyrant as the boogy man you claim existed before castro. the guy tortured, incarcerated and/or imprisoned his opposition, yet you sing his praises.
you are a hypocrite. it is you that clearly does not know what he is talking about. put the ball down and go home.
What I've posted has refuted your 'facts' in every way possible.
You've mentioned nothing about the truth right in front of your face .. so, if your are tired of getting truth you don't want to hear shoved in your face .. or if you think your 'facts' are more important then the fact the lives of Cubans have EXPONENTIALLY IMPROVED under Castro .. PROVEN .. then you should just go talk to someone else.
You didn't come back with facts and evidence ,, you came back with emotions and feelings about what you think about me. How silly.
Tell you what? While you're running away .. take this with you ..
Cuba's Soft Power: Exporting Doctors Rather Than Revolution
"Cuba is not exporting arms and revolutionaries -- Cuba is exporting doctors.
There are more than 51,000 Cuban doctors and health care professionals working around the world today, primarily in developing nations. Many of these are working collaboratively with US and European NGOs actually in third countries -- particularly in Africa in dealing with AIDS/HIV, river blindness, malaria, and a number of health maladies.
---
To make a long and very fascinating story short, Fidel Castro organized a team of 1,500 doctors into the "Henry Reeves Brigade" and offered them to the US to provide support for victims of Hurricane Katrina. Predictably, the US declined the gesture. Shortly after, a major earthquake hit the heavily Islamic fundamentalist region along the border of Pakistan and Kashmir.
Castro sent the brigade to Pakistan to help earthquake survivors and those suffering long-term shock and other problems related to the earthquake in the months after.
The current Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez -- who was then a deputy foreign minister -- was dispatched along with the Reeves Brigade to oversee the medical operations in the mountainous, difficultly accessed earthquake zone.
Americans and Europeans also sent medical teams -- one major base camp each that stayed about a month each. The Cubans sent seven major base camps and thirty field hospitals, remaining for a year.
Reportedly, the Cubans, American and European medical personnel coordinated well in the field and worked together without incident. In one case, a Cuban doctor had to dress in a full hijab as a female doctor in order to deliver the baby of a local woman -- who would have been subjected to harsh punishment if known that a male doctor did this. But the Cubans did send many female doctors and health professionals as well.
At the time this all occurred, Pakistan and Cuba did not have diplomatic relations -- and today they do. And their are Cuban doctors doing work in Pakistan today -- and Pakistani students studying at the Latin American School of Medicine.
The Henry Reeves Brigade has, since Pakistan, been deployed to help in the great Sichuan Earthquake in China and also to do disaster relief in Latin America. The Brigade now has more than 3,000 health care professionals who are experts in disaster-related medical support.
This is a case of soft power with hard results, a story that anyone can commend despite all of the other warts and problems in a relationship. Americans and Cubans worked together to help others -- and nation to nation opportunities for Cuba and Pakistan grew out of that engagement
