Are you leaving for Cuba or Bolivia? You will love it.
This is my point: Rafters’ death toll is extremely high. The estimate number of the victims was derived by Dr. Armando Lago econometric research from data in studies by the Oceanographic Institute of the University of Miami and the University of Havana, and reports by the U.S. Coast Guard.
You should contact Fowler directly and ask him about your beef, instead of rambling.
When you write about the Cubans rafter escaping from the island you say, “people leaving the island”, not escaping, a big difference with respect to Haitians and Central Americans “fleeing” their countries. After all the theme of this thread is about Cuban rafters escaping from the Castroit regime and dying at sea.
Just google MSM like New York Times, Washington Post, BBC, CNN, NBC and other about Cuba’s education and healthcare free systems and you will get the answers. The point that I made was that lefties praise the Castroit regime system but don’t want to move there.
No offence, I believe my answer relate to your post. I did not say “move”, I said leaving. You brought Bolivia into the subject. After all you acknowledge leaving for Bolivia and vising La Paz.
Cuba would be a great place to live if it weren't for the Castroit Tyrannical regime genocidal actions against the Cuban people.
This is one of the heinous atrocities committed by the Castroit regime in its 60 years of human right violations. This illustrate the regime total disregard for human lives and fundamental freedoms. The right to leave and return to one’s own country, have been denied to most Cubans. In this case the regime assassinated the Cubans who attempted to escape the island, including women and children.
For the last 59 years innocents victims of barbaric acts, men, women and children have been murderer the Castroit tyrannical regime.
37 people died, eleven of them children in the sinking of the tugboat. The massacre has been condemned by many international organizations, including the Pope who denounced the incident and expressed condolences to the victims.Cuba: On the 20th anniversary of the tugboat massacre

Summit, New Jersey. Among the most flagrant atrocities committed by the Castro regime in its long history of human rights’ abuses, two incidents stand out that took place in the month of July —the Canimar River Massacre of 1980 and the Tugboat Massacre of 1994. Perpetrated by the Cuban regime still in power, they illustrate its profound disregard for human life and fundamental freedoms. On this anniversary, we remember the victims —their tragic loss is compounded by the continued impunity the Cuban dictatorship enjoys for these and many other crimes against humanity.
On July 13, 1994, a group of around seventy family members and friends boarded the tugboat “13 de Marzo” in the middle of the night hoping to escape to the United States. As they made their way out of Havana’s harbor, three tugboats that had been waiting in the dark took up a chase. Soon, they began to relentlessly spray the boat with high-pressure water jets, ripping children from their parents’ arms and sweeping passengers off to sea. Finally, the tugboat was rammed to make it sink. Passengers who had taken refuge in the cargo hold were pinned down; they desperately pounded on the walls and the children wailed in horror as the boat sank and they all drowned. The three pursuing tugboats circled around survivors who clung to life, creating wave turbulence to make them drown. The attack stopped suddenly, apparently to conceal the crime, when a merchant ship with a Greek flag approached Havana Harbor. Cuban Navy ships standing by began picking up survivors and took them to shore. The traumatized women and children were interrogated and sent home, the men imprisoned for months and given psychotropic drugs.

Just to refresh your memory since you have posted in the thread https://www.debatepolitics.com/lati...astro-longtime-dictator-cuba-has-died-25.html, and look at the article Castro's 'Accomplishments' in Cuba a Load of Nonsense on page 25 and read the responses on page 26.

Does there is a count of the numbers of Cubans murdered by the Castroit tyrannical regime since 1959? Of course, here is the number of Cubans killed:
