Why all the irrational hatred for cuba? Castro at his worst is probably still a little better than the leaders of many of the countries we currently ally ourselves with. If you pay attention to the history of labor struggles, or the history of america in general, and compared the horrible things our economic system has done to our citizens with what castro has done to cuban citizens you wouldn't find much of a difference in terms of repsect for human rights. I'm not ignoring the positive aspects of each, just pointing out that american capitalism can be just as averse to human rights as cuba has been.
Host sums it up nicely, though.
