Ever since the official transfer of power from Fidel Castro to his brother Raul, all the talk in the United States has been about whether or not to open up negotiations with the Cuban government.  Barack Obama has went on record saying he would be willing to talk to the new dictator, and Republican front-runner John McCain blasted that decision.  McCain went on to berate the Castro regime, even going as far as to compare them to a terrorist state. Ironically, the truth is that the Cuban government doesn't need to talk to the United States. They have been shut off from talking and trading with the U.S. for the last 60 years, and they have survived just fine.  The country is not in the best of economic shape but they have managed to escape and stay free from U.S. imperialism. Despite numerous attacks and assassination attempts orchestrated by the U.S. government, Cuba has been able to dodge an effort by a country that has managed to spread it's influence over the whole world during this same period.  By doing this Cuba has won a decisive victory over the United States already, and talking to them now would severely underscore the reasons for Fidel's Cuban Revolution.

          The Cuban Revolution lead by Fidel Castro was basically a revolt against American capitalists who had taken over the Cuban government and controlled everything from Cuban sugar crops to the entire tourist district of Havana. At the time, Havana served as a haven for wealthy American tourists and U.S. organized crime.  Cuba appeared to be a thriving place, but when all the money is controlled by one country, the interests the Cuban people were shoved under the rug. The United states has a long history of trying to strong-arm poorer nations into controlling their assets and even their natural resources.  Fidel Castro's Cuban Revolution destroyed the old Cuban government, and soon Fidel took back the Cuban people's businesses and sugar crops from American interests. This victory served notice to the United States and the rest of the world that America cannot control everyone.  That message is still being held up in countries like Venezuela, and even parts of the Middle East.  Fidel's revolution also provoked 6 decades of U.S. hostility, and the bullying forced Cuba into an ill-fated alliance with the Soviet Union.               

Fidel Castro counts off the number of fingers he has. Or something.

          Although Cuba's economy is struggling and people on the island do not have complete freedom, the Cuban people have won a decisive victory against American imperialism and they should continue to avoid allowing the U.S. back into their affairs.  As for the U.S. businesses and politicians- they need to look at Cuba as an important lesson.  The United States is not King, and there are people willing to fight and give their lives to keep their homes, their money,  and their resources.  It's time for the U.S. to stop thinking that everyone needs them, and should bow to those who don't give in, and Cuba should serve as a success story to all other countries that have been bullied or attacked by the United States imperialists.
