This paper discusses the relationship between the United States and Fidel Castro’s Cuba, now more than forty years old, but still a source of great political and moral contention.
This paper describes the history of Cuba before and during the reign of Castro. The author states that today, Cuban citizens live in a state of constant depression. The author concludes that the standing relationship between Cuba and America is based on the optimistic thought that Fidel Castro can’t live forever.

In the Western Hemisphere, they are alone, paying for what most American citizens will tell you is their philosophical transgression.
