>Cuba
OK, maybe beginning to see a pattern
>Burma
I'm not an expert on Burma, but haven't they become a democracy again? I'd like to know what/any effect US sanctions had on this.

I doubt you can even name one of those groups that the US has ever funded let alone "most of them"
at best you can dishonestly bring up the afgahn mujahadeen to tenuously get to 2/5 of those groups
