Couldn't help myself. I'm 72, have supported Cuba against the northern Goliath from the get-go. Was able to spend close to two weeks there in February, 2001, with mental health colleagues in a People-to-People sponsored trip. Plan to re-visit in the Fall of the new year. Was gratified by the sense of self manifested by the Cubans we met, many of them the physicians who serve their countrymen and women with great dedication. In sharp contrast to the citizens of other Caribbean countries that I've lived in or visited. Thanks to Fidel and his comrades, they know who they are.
