Hi Everybody! http://www.timesdispatch.com/rtd/news/local/article/hope_collides_with_reality_for_cubans/166148/
or http://tinyurl.com/9xztyn Jorge M. Benitez, an art professor at Virginia Commonwealth University, fled Cuba at age 4 in 1962. He recalled his father throwing him from the bed to the floor and covering him as Castro’s men shot at what they believed were counter-revolutionaries in a nearby field. They implemented a system of terror just like Batista, he said. “As an exile, I cannot justify Batista under any circumstances,” he said. “He was pretty bad. Castro was infinitely worst.” Benitez said he and his parents don’t think about the revolution like they did 30 years ago, he said. “I think it’s because the revolution is old and in my view, it obviously failed,” he said. “The greatest tragedy of the Cuban Revolution is that it could have been amazing. It could have been the catalyst for real change in Latin America.” -- Regards, Pete http://pete-theisen.com/ _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
