@Germlat,
By all means, G, start a thread.
G: I do despise rudeness.
How rude is it to terrorize poor tiny countries and pretend that you are the saviour of the oppressed? How rude is it to invade those same poor, tiny countries and turn the citizens into slaves - those who you don't slaughter.

The complaint then describes the campaign of air and naval attacks against Cuba that commenced in October 1959, when Eisenhower approved a program that included bombings of sugar mills, machine-gun attacks on Havana and even on passenger trains, and the burning of sugar fields. The campaign was coordinated in detail by the Central Intelligence Agency In mid-1961, the ClA's lnspector General noted that the CIA station in Miami overseeing the campaign had grown from 40 people in January 1960 to 588 people by April 16, 1961. It was becoming "one of the largest branches of the Clandestine Services."
The third section of the complaint, which was supported by days of testimony and dozens of witnesses-many in their 70s and 80s-described the armed terrorist groups, los banditos, who ravaged the island for five years, from 1960 to 1965, when the last group was located and defeated. These bands, most numerous in the central Escambray region but operating throughout Cuba, terrorized small farmers, horribly torturing and killing those considered (often erroneously) active supporters of the Revolution, men, women, and children. Children who saw their fathers or mothers murdered before their eyes testified, as did elderly parents who watched their children tortured and killed. Young volunteer literacy campaign teachers were among the victims.
