Interesting how? Seems quite logical to me.

It seems logical, but I can't think of another group of people in America who are as critical of their country of origin.

What does this have to do with anything? But in case you didn't notice during the Elian fiasco, Cubans are very outspoken.

My obervation was exactly what you just said: Cuban Americans are very outspoken when it comes to Castro and his policies.

Sure, you poll dissidents and you're going to get a pretty consistent dissident answer.

Cubans are in favor of improving Cuba. If they can't get rid of Castro, which they can't (/edit...and its been 40 years and we haven't been able to either), they are still completely in favor of improving it, which lifting the sanctions and embargo would do.

I wasn't making an argument that Castro should be removed because that's what Cuban Americans want (if that's what you think I was doing). I never even said anything about removal. I merely made an observation that many (but of course not all) Cuban Americans are harshly critical of Castro, more so, for example, than Chinese Americans are critical of Jiang Zemin.

Apparently, ATOT is a no observation zone. I apologize.
