Politics and Culture

I'll defer to my friends: Jose Reyes from Cubanology, Babalublog who have the most extensive anti-dictator coverage including report cards on the mainstream news coverage, and the New York Times on this one.

By the way, the New York Times' non-adulatory coverage of Communism in Cuba and conversations with my liberal friends suggest to me that the left has finally thrown Cuba under the bus- in public, at least. Except for unreformed Communists like Michael Moore, nobody on the left brings up Cuba's poor, but equally distributed health care or the fact that 95% of the population can read the Communist propaganda they're provided (literacy). Better late than never, I suppose.

Maybe in 50 years, we'll have stories on how much better Iraq was without Saddam Hussein.
