Francisco Paulino Hermenegildo Teódulo Franco y Bahamonde (pron. IPA : [fran'θisko 'franko]; December 4, 1892 – November 20 (or possibly November 19 [*]) 1975), abbreviated Francisco Franco y Bahamonde and commonly known as Generalísimo Francisco Franco, was the Head of State of Spain in parts of the country from 1936 and in its entirety from 1939 until his death in 1975. He presided over the authoritarian government of the Spanish State following victory in the Spanish Civil War. From 1947, he was de facto regent of Spain. During his rule he was known officially as por la gracia de Dios, Caudillo de España y de la Cruzada, or "by the grace of God, the Leader of Spain and of the Crusade."

We sell airplanes to other countries, why not Russia?  Don't worry about it.  Cuba probably has a few 29's flying around.  Our Navy needs something to play with from time to time.  Just ask the Libyans.  As for who is Hugo Chavez...he is Venezuela's Fidel Castro.  Pro Communist and Anti-American President.

Elián González (born December 6, 1993) was at the center of a heated custody and immigration battle in 2000 between the Cuban and United States governments, his father, his Miami relatives, and the Cuban American community of Miami. The climactic stage of this prolonged battle was the April 22, 2000 seizure of six-year-old Elián by federal agents, which drew the ire and criticism of many in the Cuban-American community and presidential candidates Al Gore and George W. Bush and prompted a Senate inquiry. However, after the Miami relatives' appeals met several rejections by the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta, and a refusal to hear the case by the US Supreme Court, Elián González returned to Cuba with his father, Juan Miguel González, on the afternoon of June 28, 2000.\n\nHostility between Cuba and the United States has been persistent since the Cuban Revolution. Over that period, a considerable number of Cubans have tried to leave for the United States, hoping for greater freedom and better economic conditions. This emigration is illegal under both Cuban and US law; any Cuban found at sea, attempting to reach US shores, will be deported by the US Coast Guard or if caught by Cuban police, executed. Since the Carter era, US policy has evolved into the current "wet feet, dry feet" rule: If a Cuban refugee is picked up at sea or walking toward shore, he will be repatriated by force (i.e., sent back to Cuba against his will). If he can make it to shore ("dry feet"), he is permitted to make a case for political asylum. Under a 1995 migration accord with Cuba, Cubans who make it to US soil are generally allowed to remain in the country (a policy applied exclusively to Cubans because those returned to Cuba may face imprisonment or death).\n\nIn November 1999, Elián, his mother, and twelve others fled Cuba on a small aluminum boat with a faulty engine; Elián's mother and ten others died in the crossing. The boat was operated by his mother's boyfriend, who resided in Miami and smuggled Cubans into the US for money (a felony under federal law). Elián and the other two survivors completed the journey across the Florida Straits on an inner tube. Elián was rescued at sea by two fishermen who then gave him to the US Coast Guard.\n\nThe Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) released Elián to his great uncle, Lázaro. Lázaro's daughter, Marisleysis (first cousin once removed to Elián), became something of a maternal figure to Elián. Armando Gutierrez, a local Miami-based Cuban-American activist became the family spokesperson and a close friend of the family. INS officials told reporters neither they nor the State Department had any legal say in the matter. It was demanded that the boy be returned to Cuba to the care of his father, touching off the firestorm that ended only when Elián was taken at gunpoint by federal agents who forcibly entered Lázaro's house. Elián was flown back to Havana with his father, Juan Miguel González-Quintana, Juan Miguel's wife, their son, and a cousin, on June 28, 2000.\n\nElián's mother, Elizabeth Brotons, had taken Elián without Juan Miguel's knowledge, so in addition to the case's political refugee overtones, it was also a child custody battle. The debate was whether US immigration laws mandated that he be returned to his father, as Juan Miguel could speak for Elián only if it was assumed Juan Miguel was not under duress from the Cuban government.\n\nFor much of early 2000, Elián's plight dominated the news in the US and in Cuba. On April 14, a video was released in which Elián "tells" Juan Miguel that he wants to stay in the US. Many considered that he had been coached, as a male voice was heard off-camera directing the young boy. In a September 2005 interview with 60 Minutes Elián claimed that during his stay in the US his family members were "telling me bad things about [my father]", and &quo

first , for complaints.... go to...\n\nhttp://hrw.org/english/docs/2005/01/13/cuba9848.htm\n\nthen\nhttp://www.cubanet.org/CNews/y06/jun06/20e5.htm\n\nfor more info on this here .....\n\nEXCERPT FROM THE NET>>>SOURCE HAS BEEN GIVEN\n\n\nThe term "terrorism," in practice, means the terrorism that THEY carry out against US. And the U.S. is not alone in this practice - it is probably close to universal. Cuba is certainly not alone in being treated this way. There is very rich literature documenting the practice generally.... Even the orders of the World Court calling on the U.S. to terminate its "unlawful use of force" (i.e., international terrorism, or maybe even aggression) against Nicaragua, and the supporting Security Council resolution (vetoed by the US), are unknown [in the U.S.], and if brought up, dismissed as proof that the Court is "anti-American" and irrelevant. The Cuban case is unusual because it is so clear, certainly since JFK ordered his staff to launch "the terrors of the earth" against Cuba....\n--Noam Chomsky, September, 2002\n\nTo understand the politics of Cuba, it is necessary to understand the role of the US in Latin America and elsewhere. By examining the history of the US aggression and intervention, we can see clearly the motives that have driven its foreign policy and what it is capable of given the motive and opportunity. It will then be easy to see why the Cuban people must take what seem to us to be extraordinary measures to counter this threat. For them, it is truly a matter of life and death. Recent developments -- shifts in popular opinion in the US, etc. -- are the basis for some optimism that Cuba/US relations may soon improve. Cubans must, however, exercise extreme caution if they are not to meet a fate similar to that of the former USSR, Yugoslavia and others. As William Blum states in the introduction to his recent essay, US Aggression and Intervention, in The Guardian (CPA), \n\nThe engine of American foreign policy has been fueled not by a devotion to any kind of morality, but by the necessity to serve other imperatives: \n\nto make the world safe for American corporations; \nto enhance the financial statements of defence contractors at home who have contributed generously to members of Congress; \nto prevent the rise of any society that might serve as a successful example of an alternative to the capitalist model; \nto extend political and economic hegemony over as wide an area as possible, as befits a 'great power'. \n\nit will come as no surprise to readers that some international organizations, do not see Cuba as democracy. Following is a rebuttal of a typical criticism of the Cuban electoral based on an excerpt (in italics) from a report on human rights in Cuba by a commission of the Organization of American States (OAS). The section entitled "Elections for the National Assembly of People's Power and the Provincial Assemblies" begins:\n\nThe American Declaration of the Rights and Duties of Man establishes the right to vote and to participate in government at Article XX, in the following terms. \nArticle XX. Every person having legal capacity is entitled to participate in the government of his country, directly or through his representatives, and to take part in popular elections, which shall be by secret ballot, and shall be honest, periodic and free.\n\n38. Political rights, as considered by the Declaration, have two clearly distinguishable aspects: the right to directly exercise power, i.e., to participate in government; and the right to elect those who are to exercise it, i.e., the right to vote. This presupposes a broad conception of representative democracy, based on popular sovereignty, in which the functions by which power is exercised are performed by persons chosen in free and fair elections.\n\nThis is the case in Cuba. In addition to having the right to vote, every Cuban of voting age has an equal opportu

First of all, you have chosen a very wide range of leaders, who though on the left, are really not that similar.  Lula (da Silva), is a center leftist leader who is very different from the others.  Though he once carried a populist message, he now is an established politician who does not spout anti-American rhetoric and conducts business friendly centrist policies.  He is probably been good for the country, economically speaking, as he has developed certain industries well, signed good trade agreements with neighbors, increased trade with MERCOSUR, and lobbied much better for Brazil and other developing nations in world economic forums.  Morally, he has had some recent scandals with corruption, but is still fairly popular.  Most people would consider the path he has taken good for the country, as it has increased economic development. \nOn the opposite end of the spectrum you have Fidel Castro.  Casto is a dictator, putting him in a different category than the rest of these democratically and fairly elected leaders.  He has tortured people, and in general held on to power so long Cuba has stagnated economically and socially.  Though initial gains in literacy and health validated his methods to some, improvements in other countries has increasingly his discredited the control he remains on power.  Though U.S. actions with regards to Cuba certainly have not been morally commendable, this does not place Castro on the moral high ground.  As for economically, given the US boycott that will remain for as long as a Castro (Raul included) in power, he has done the best for the economy he can. Since he has no possible option of keeping his government and the lifting the boycott, he has done as well as can be expected.  \nHugo Chavez is a interesting case, he is a populist leader, who does have the moral high ground over the US in Venezuela, especially with the US tacit support of the coup against him.  Economically, he has spent some of the oil money well.  But increasingly he seems to be undermining democratic institutions in Venezuela and relying instead on the military.  Therefore, he has benefited the common person at least in the short run, but the long term results remain to be seen.  \nEvo Morales is fresh into office.  He represents the poor farmers, the cocaleros, and is likely to represent their social and economic interest well.  However, though his recent moves to nationalize industries will help the people in the short run, if he creates a climate hostile to foreign investment, then he will hurt the poor in the long run, as the economy won't develop.  \nSo in each case it is slight different, and with so much of economics, it is hard to tell what the future will hold.

The Honorable Philip W. Bonsal was ambassador to Cuba from the U.S. from Jan. 1959 until Oct. 1960, when he was recalled by Pres. Dwight Eisenhower.  Diplomatic relations with Cuba were subsequently broken by Pres. Eisenhower on Jan 3, 1961. We've had no diplomatic relations and no ambassador to Cuba since that date.\n\nThe Cuban Missile crisis didn't arise until a year later.\n\nThe U.S.UN Ambassador was Adlai Stevenson
