At the heart of bitter US-Cuban relations was the Castro brothers' adamantine refusal to take instruction from Washington. Before Fidel Castro seized power in 1959, Cuba had been an obedient semi-colony of the US. This was the era when Big Brother in Washington told Latin America what to do and allowed US business to exploit the region. The US seized Cuba's Guantanamo Bay during the 1898 Spanish-American War as a naval coaling station. Cuba was forced to grant the US a perpetual lease. The Panama Canal was acquired in a similar imperial manner. Over half the lush island's agricultural land was owned by US corporate interests; many hotels came under control of American mobsters ... US tourists will soon inundate the island, eradicate its seedy 1950's charm, and see Cuba returned to American tutelage. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "serbia" group.
