Castro's concept about the need for an Obama apology in Chile is simply ridiculous. Even more ridiculous, Castro has over 1oo,ooo tweet followers! So, to whom will Fidel apologize for his ancestor's annihilation of Cuba's native Taino Indian population? -- How ridiculous can Castro get... very, very ridiculous!!

In the 90s Clinton apologized to the Greeks for a coup in which the CIA was involved. As for Castro apologizing for ”his ancestors annihilation of Cuba's native(s)” - THAT is ridiculous. Has a US president ever apologized for white people's treatment of Native Americans?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Fidel have his own little coup in 1953?
Half a century of apology needed, I think.
