So you were born in Detoit and then moved to where your mother is now? I think the idea with Cuba is basically just badness: America sees it as one of the last bastions of communism, they hate Castro because he stood up to them and they couldn't effect regime change (get those pigs out of that bay! We're leaving!) and obviously that's reciprocated as Castro hates the US for what they stand for, and probably also has not forgiven them for trying to have him assassinated.

He should be ok though, as he still has Mister Burns' trillion dollar note...


Yeah, I think it's the last great Communism vs Imperalism standoff of the 21st century. You'd think they'd have grown out of it by now. They're like two brothers who fell out over something and still don't talk, but can't remember what the dispute was about...
