10. orfeas :”Yes, dictator…but over 4000 hospitals and 3000 universities, in such a small countrry. 0,2% uneducated, 5,6% newborn deaths the best rate in the world and that of 60 years embargo!”

    #Dear Orfeas, Cuba has a infant death rate of 4,5 / 1000 which is 0,45% not 5,6% that would mean almost 6 in a 100 babies would die that would be super high. Als their infant death rate isnt nor has it ever been the best in the world, right now its at 186.
    Also ‘uneducation’ isnt any kind of rate or index. They do have a high litteracy rate only 0.1% is illiterate.

    #Further more 3000 Uni’s?? Im from the Netherlands, smaller in landmass then Cuba and one of the more educated countries in the world we have 14 uni’s for 16 mln people. So 3000 uni’s for 12mln cubans would be crazy everyone even if every baby and old folk would go there. They have 29 Uni’s that arent even all official.!!!!
    I didnt even bother to look into the 4000 Hospitals.

    So i dont know where you get your facts from, Cuban probably?

11. Fidel Castro, the Cuban revolutionary leader who built a communist state on the doorstep of the United States and for five decades defied U.S. efforts to topple him, has died at age 90. http://www.slideserve.com/dennison/fidel-castro-1926-2016

12. He was probably responsible for hundreds of thousands of people and cost the US hundreds of millions $ trying to overthrow his regime. Ruined the whole County hope he rots in hell with his brother and others like him . P malcuria glad he is gone .

13. are not is-“Also ‘uneducation’ isnt any kind of rate or index. They do have a high litteracy rate only 0.1% is illiterate.” Also you misspelled literacy. So where ever you are from you may not have great education but you do have spell check. Use it.

15. I think by the time Fidel had his Rolexes, those were tool watches and not extravagantly expensive. Evil person and horror ideology, though . . .
