Florida Marlin manager Ozzie Guillen voiced some opinions on Cuban leader Fidel Castro and was immediately suspended by Major League Baseball for five games. Among his words were, \u201cI love Fidel Castro. I respect Fidel Castro, you know why? A lot of people have wanted to kill Fidel Castro for the last 60 years, but that mother****r is still here.\u201d<\/p>\n
It was actually fifty-three years ago, in 1959, that Castro led a revolution that overthrew the government of Fulgencio Batista, In 1952, Batista, with army backing, staged a coup and seized power. Batista also had very close ties with the American Mafia, making it easy for organized crime from the States to do business in the island country.<\/p>\n
So the question rises, \u201cIf Batista was a military dictator who collaborated with the Mafia, what was so terrible about overthrowing him?\u201d<\/p>\n
It\u2019s important to keep in mind that like any society, Cuba is pluralistic. There clearly were honorable hard-working citizens who were being abused and discriminated against by Batista. They had every reason to want him removed from power.<\/p>\n
There were others who saw the vulnerability of Batista, which created an opportunity for them to try to seize power. Some of these people wanted power for their own aggrandizement; others were adherents of different political philosophies, including Communism.<\/p>\n
