Those who are opposed to normalizing relations with Cuba, citing oppression, would do well to remember the brutal Batista dictatorship that led to the 1959 revolution.
Fulgencio Batista’s Cuba was populated by secret police, torture and state-sanctioned murder.
American criminal enterprises in league with Batista ran lucrative drug, gambling and prostitution operations.
The suffering of the people was sufficient to create conditions for a revolution.
The current suffering of the Cuban people has been at the hands of American politicians caught in a Cold War time warp.
If we can do business with China and Russia, then we can surely do business with Cuba.
— Dan Stanzel, Chicago
