	Fidel Castro, Dictator of the Month December, 2004
		Castro's economic policies had caused some concerns in Washington that Castro was a Communist with an allegiance to the Soviet Union.
		Castro claims that, during the Cold War, the United States engaged in a variety of covert, and often deadly attacks against Cuba in order to weaken the entire country as a way of weakening Castro's government.
		Opposition to Castro's regime is thus frequently portrayed as illegitimate, and the result of an ongoing conspiracy fostered solely by Cubans with ties to the United States or the CIA.

		This was evidenced when Castro opened the gates in the port of Camarioca in September of 1965 and again during the Mariel boatlift of 1980, when close to 125,000 Cubans precipitously escaped from Castro's proletarian paradise.
		Castro is the one punishing Cubans, not the embargo.
		The death of Castro can serve to promote a transition if a lot of people in Cuba perceive that the regime is vulnerable, that their participation could bring about change, and people go to the streets in large and repeated demonstrations to demand political change.

	Opposition to Fidel Castro - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Opposition to Fidel Castro's Cuban government is largely unofficial and illegal within Cuba due to the political system led by Fidel Castro being a one party state.
		The most concentrated locus of opposition is amongst the Cuban-American exile community in Miami, Florida.
		Those who oppose Castro are represented in part by the Cuban-American lobby, which campaigns for the U.S. government to maintain the U.S. embargo against Cuba and to press the Cuban government for political change.

	American Experience \| Fidel Castro \| Interview Excerpts \| PBS
		Castro believed that there would be safety in numbers, that other revolutions would be stimulated by the Cuban revolution and you would have revolutions throughout the hemisphere and he very quickly would stand aligned with, let's say, a Venezuelan revolutionary government, a Colombian, Ecuadorian and so forth.
		Castro said he would do it to as his support for the socialist bloc, but that it wouldn't really defend Cuba because if the Americans had not decided to invade before the missiles came in, they certainly would invade once they knew the missiles were coming in.
		Look, Fidel Castro is the First Secretary of the Communist Party; the Prime Minister; the President of the State Council; President of the Council of Ministers; the President of the Republic of Cuba; Commander in Chief of the Land, Sea and Air Forces; and if that weren't enough, the General Supervisor of all Ministries.

	CNN - Castro defends crackdown, warns against summit protests - November 11, 1999
		Castro said two men were arrested and would be charged with provoking social disorder after Wednesday's disturbance in a Havana park.
		Castro's comments were the latest in an offensive by Havana against Cuban dissidents who for weeks have been organizing activities such as news conferences and meetings ahead of the summit of leaders from Latin America, Spain and Portugal on Monday and Tuesday.
		Castro said that if security officials had not restrained the public anger against the two protesters, the incident could have been worse because of the messages on dissidents' placards.

	t r u t h o u t - ISSUES - Carter, Castro
		Castro played host to Carter at the Latin American School of Medicine, where the Cuban leader argued that the concept of democracy was born in ancient Athens, with fewer than 20,000 citizens ruling some 50,000 non-citizens and 80,000 slaves.
		Noting the vast poverty of most of the world's people, Castro compared Western-style democracies to an Athens in which a minority unjustly dominates the majority and said Cuba was striving for "a society with justice" and equal opportunity.
		Castro used the occasion at the school -- where the impoverished country gives free six-year medical educations to 6,000 poor students, most from Latin America -- to begin drawing the outlines of a longer response that is sure to come.

	On Dealing with Castro's Cuba
		Castro's statements are from time to time more guileful and opportunistic, but on the whole fluctuate wildly around the stable position stated in more steadily blunt terms by Ché.
		Second, Castro might expect, with some justice, that the opening up of trade between the United States and Cuba would rally a good deal of influential support on his side, pressure by those U.S. business men who would be selling to and would like to expand their trade with Castro.
		Castro is in default on some of his loans and several of the London banks have to refinance them.

	43-Year Struggle Against Castro (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Castro was so sure that no one would dare to challenge him that his "constitution” includes a passage that says a request for a referendum can be made by the citizens if a petition with at least 10,000 signatures is presented.
		The struggle against Batista, Castro's predecessor, was dominated by Cuba’s huge middle class and some segments of the upper classes; but the early opposition to Castro came from all walks of life, including his old comrades in his fight against Batista.
		The democratic opposition was threatening his hold on power and in January 1960, Castro decreed the death penalty (that did not exist in Cuba) for helping or joining the new revolt.

	Anti-Castro opposition struggling in Cuba / Reuters
		Yanez said the opposition was stronger than ever because Cubans had lost the fear of protesting since Pope John Paul II's visit in 1998.
		Emboldened by recent opposition activity, and sensing room for manoeuvre around the upcoming Ibero-American Summit in Havana in mid-November, they claim a fledgling, nonviolent resistance movement may be taking shape.
		Perhaps more damaging for the Castro government this year than overt demonstrations has been the work of the roughly 40 ``independent'' journalists who file stories via telephone dictation to the United States, where support groups post their work to the Internet and send it to newspapers.

		Although the majority of priests supported Castro’s Revolution, much of the hierarchy was in line with Batista and fled the island in 1959.

	Worldandnation: Crackdown on dissent a Cuban question mark
		Castro squeezes his opposition, despite - or to encourage - major political and economic consequences.
		More straightforward versions focus on Castro's ideological rejection of any democratic opposition to his rule, as well as possible fissures in Cuba's powerful one-party state apparatus.

		President Clinton's latest package of concessions to the Castro regime represents a preemptive capitulation to a crumbling dictatorship, and a repudiation of decades of bipartisan opposition to Castro.
		The Castro regime, one of the most repressive in the world, is a throw-back to the worst excesses of Soviet tyranny.
		All foreign investment funds must be paid directly into Castro's coffers; the ordinary Cubans who work on these foreign projects receive from the government only a Marxist pittance for their labors.

	ISN Security Watch - Cubaâs opposition holds democracy talks
		The two-day conference was small in scope but large in its significance for opponents of Cuban leader Fidel Castroâs authoritarian rule, which outlaws political opposition parties.
		Oswaldo Paya, a leader the Christian Liberation Movement, accused the conferenceâs hostess of working with the Cuban government and foreshadowed the possibility that Castro could use the talks as an excuse for crackdowns against the opposition in the future.
		Meanwhile, in an apparent countermeasure to the conference, Castro on Friday told an estimated 200,000 people during one of his frequent public addresses that the nation played a vital role in helping the United States fight the war on terror.
