I am gathering information for a research paper that I am writing that discusses embargoes as human rights' violations relating to Cuba and it has been very difficult to find any information that doesn't simply repeat the same message over and over again: "Fidel Castro is an evil dictator who commits horrible human rights violations". I realize from the various data I've gathered that includes dialogue with people who have lived there that life is far from perfect (it is, of course, a third world country) but it has been difficult to find non-propaganda material.

The indepth indoctrination has been ingrained within the Cuban people for 50 years. I am cuban.. and I go to Cuba and my family who was impoverished fled for their lives when leaving. They were harassed.. imprisoned and killed as were hundreds of thousands of other Cubans. Without trials... Do you realize how many people Che Guevera murdered personally and sentenced to death in the Cabana during his time heading the prision? Im tired of outsiders buying the lies of a dictatorship after 50 years and putting aside expiernces of real Cubans. Not just he ones who you stay with..but the ones who feel comfortable telling you how they have suffered...Just like Hitler Death we will have to wait for Castro to die for the atrocities of his regime to come to light. A quick little test hold up a sign to impeach Castro in Cuba.. see where you end up! Or even better goto Isla Grand.cu.. into the Chat rooms and type Abajo Fidel.. see how quickly you are disconnected to the cite. These are all disturbing issues.. of any 3rd world nation.

I just wanted to reinforce Charles' comments. I too have been to Cuba often and lived with real people. I have witnessed all he has. I once saw an above ground sewer pipe that had a crack in it so it could flow into a local river. The streets a filthy. There is rot everywhere. Heath care is great but prevention is better.

Whilst this interview claims that Cuba has a good health care system, and it is known that it has achived a great deal in a poor economy there are anomalies. Public health is very poor from the point of view of there being a very poor garbage collection in many residential houses and this leads to highrer level of infection from insects since they can breed more easily. Waste water drains into open "streams" and becomes an excellent breeding ground for mosquitoes. The environmental health department staff which sprays against mosquitoes fail to spray around the water. Hospitals are filfthy and lack resources. Patients receive very little food in hospital. Hygiene in hospitals is disgusting. Many people cannot afford fruit and vegetables &b hence they are exposed to greater risk of acquring infections and thay have poor resistence to illnesses and diseases.

I would say that if you want the mainstream you've got all kinds of network and mainstream choices. If you really want to hear the anti-Cuba stuff - just sit yourself in front of Fox 24/7.
