But absolutely that's the reason.
If you want to know my opinion the fact I used the word scary should tell you all you need to know.  |
Actually at the time of the revolution, Raul was the scary guy as he was the known communist. Watching the Canadian news at the time we were sympathetic to the revolution because they were intent on overthrowing a corrupt regime. The question was whether Fidel would follow his brother to embrace the communists. The American government made this a done deal when they opposed the revolution forcing Fidel into the USSR's realm.
