    I don't think it can be summed up any better than you just did, Chris, but I might add a few other things: 16,000 peacetime executions of political prisoners, 25,000 gays and other “deviants” in concentration camps; union leaders subject to 26-year prison sentences. Prisons of hell. Torture included making prisoners cut grass with their teeth; live in iron cages 1 meter wide, 1.8 meters high; shock treatment; prisoner death by the hundreds from starvation and lack of medical attention etc. etc. Yes. These guys need to go. You can find all this...about Cuba and the rest of the bloodthirsty marxists at communiststats.com or just google Peacetime in the Communist States. It's eye opening.
