Donald Trump calls Fidel Castro 'brutal dictator' - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-latin-america-38118739

@gambit is he right or is he trolling?
Was Fidel Castro a great leader or was bad for Cuba?

I hear Cuba has very good healthcare free for all citizens. It has a high literacy rate bench-marking that of industrialized nations. Can India or even my country beat that? Not for a long time. Their economy though took a hit after the USSR collapse.

Regardless of one's views about Castro, it is just wrong to celebrate one's death. Especially one that outlived nine U.S. presidencies. Not to mention the assassination attempts against him, Operation Mongoose.

Being an upcoming president, Mr. Trump should learn to control his big mouth more often instead of pandering around people's.....'feelings' just to boost his popularity.

To put it bluntly, it looks stupid and doesn't bode well for America's credibility.

Excellent post, very informative.
According to me he was a selfless man, he gave his entire life to the betterment of Cuba.

This is just a start. Also he has big portion of hate in heart on certain communities. More surprises to come. Right Now, He is just busy to complete his team .
He will surpass Hitler soon.
People change when they come to power, sometimes for good and sometimes for the worst. lets hope Trump turn out to be good for everone.

Donald Trump should look deep inside in himself before judging others. Call the guy whatever but he and Che were the fighting a country who loved to dictate other countries

No one gives a crap about what a clown like Trump has to say. Trump can't be half the man Castro was.

In Trump's America Muslims are deported and not allowed to enter. In Trump's America walls are built. Trump is a clown to call Castro a brutal dictator. Today, the whole world holds its breath about Trump's future in the White House.

If Muslim immigration is not banned then in 50 years not only will America be having a racial problem but also a religious problem. The best way to stop a problem is to prevent it from happening in the first place. Students, tourists, visitors, diplomats are welcome. Immigrants are not.

But was he good or bad for Cuba?

The population of Cuba is 11M. The number of people who fled from Cuba is estimated to be 1.5M. That in itself should tell you something about his rule. I think the estimates were 80,000 people sent to the firing squad.

They are less than 1% of the population... but hope the Pakistani highly educated ones come back to make CPEC even greater game changer...

Castro was a brutal dictator, that's just facts. There are certainly dictators who are more brutal than him, but he was brutal to any opposition himself, and kept power with an iron fist.

As for great leader, I'd say he was somewhat greater than Kim Jong Il, but less so than Berlusconi. Berlusconi didn't have italian refugees fleeing the country on tires after all.

Nor did Berlusconi try to foment nuclear war between 2 superpowers and try to end life on earth.
