You have a highly inflated sense of ego with healthy dash of self-righteousness. Good for you, but it doesn't change any facts.its cubans fault theyre the victims of american economic bullying? blame Castro and cuban nationialism for American sanctions that deny Cubans the basic right to free trade which America pretends to adamantly support? if they can't even get car parts for 30 year cars why would America let them access healthcare products? is it Iraqis fault America denied them access to basic medications that ended up costing over one million Iraq lives since Yankee sanctions were imposed?
all the countries like chile, El salvador Brazil etc your article cites suffered tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of dead political prisoners which the us and west helped murder directly which it should compare instead of health care and literacy which it also lies about. not to mention it should include all the health care centres and schools throughout central, south America and Africa cubans set up while America set up right wing terror camps.
my parents, aunts and uncles still tell me 50 years later when they went to British/western/Yankee schools in south America it was 6 hours of Christian theology and learning English while rarely more than two hours of actual education in science and maths. western health care centres would send hindus and muslims to the back of the line and you'd be lucky to see a doctor before the day was through if ever..basically beg for your life if you weren't a slave convert.
and finally the Washington examiner is a Self declared right wing tabloid. it even has the Gaul to try to dispute the new york times which is like Donald Trump trying to discredit ghandi..just because something is written in English and supports your skewed nonsensical slavish viewpoint.. try not to embarrass yourself by posting it
Blaming others, particularly the west for our countries being poor is a common leftie/commie tactics. It doesn't work anymore.
US bullies us too. We stood up. If Cuba couldn't do better than petty dictators - that's their problem. Whining about US bullying is plain childish.
Others countries suffering political murders doesn't negate their improved economic condition or better health records that Cuba is apparently praised for.
Your parents, uncles whoever else went to western schools should have had the sense to set aside the indoctrination attempt by the missionaries.
NYT is hardly a standard to be aspired to. Their bias is well established. The recent US elections laid is all too bare. Every news source has bias. Go by facts.
If you wish to white-wash the crimes of a dictator to praise him by side-stepping the facts, that's your problem. Don't expect others to take your whining seriously.
