> It's sad that people should hold such a tyrant in such esteem

What is sad is how quickly people reach for a wide, monotone brush they like to paint things with lately. As an american, i have heard roughly your description of castro my entire life. To hear another version, from someone living a life in a continent i have never visited is both refreshing and educational.

I guess it's fair that many Americans don't know a lot about him and don't know about the details of his activities in Africa with doctors (and military, by the way). But that's kind of an American thing ... not enough 'world events' in the American press :), no offense.

as he demonstrated the version from the other continent was uninformed

I wouldn't dismiss it as uninformed. chirau was speaking directly to consequences that affected them, impressions personal to them.
