Cuba's biggest problem and reason for poverty is the US. After Castro took over the US played hard ball and the only place they could get support was the USSR. The Cuban Missile Crisis was of the US's stupidity. Don't make an enemy of people 100 miles off your shore and don't leave them with only one alternative, your then enemy.

All the US had to do after the people chose Castro was to keep buying the goods they had been buying under the previous corrupt leadership. America has a habit of backing losers, then getting upset when the winners turn their back on them. Vietnam, Iraq, Iran, S. American countries, etc. Did anyone mention Afghanistan?
