Hello Bruce,

Always nice to see new people here!

On your request for comments, though, I have to say at
once that I don't agree with you at all on the Cuban
revolution. In my opinion, it was betrayed in the early
sixties by its leadership, who got "under the wings of"
a power that eventually developed to be no better at all
than US imperialism, namely the social-imperialism of
the (today, former) Soviet Union.

Another matter again is that of certain actions undertaken
by the US government against Cuba. You mentioned (just) one,
denial of permission to travel there. These actions IMO are
very unjust. On that particular point I agree with you.

Greetings, and I hope you'll enjoy this list. (So far there
have at least been *some* pretty good debates on it, *I* think.
And at least some information which you would hardly get other-
wise.)

Rolf M.
