assassination of its leader and set up a political and economic embargo in an
attempt to destroy her and her people.
Many things have changed since those time, we no longer see Cuba as the
doors to hell, those doors have been rotating among other military strong men,
this time in the Middle East. Fidel Castro is no longer the target of any
American assassination plans, the United States no longer deals in the
