Didn't Castro defeat the despotic dictator in Cuba?
Q. Wasn't Batista under the control of the USA Mafia? Gambling, Drugs, Prostitution. Why didn't the USA do anything to help free the Cuban People?

A. Batista ran a country famed for good times - if you werent Cuban. It was an American colony, businesses and property were US owned and run for the benefit of the US. The US supported Batista for a long time because he served their interests. They did abandon him when it became apparent he hadnt a chance - a bit like the Shah of Iran.
