    The fact that the Nobel Peace Prize was not awarded to Cuban doctors this year is an injustice of the highest order.

      I would agree, but that implies that the Nobel peace prize wasn't already a complete farce. Love or hate Obama, he was given a peace prize despite invading 7 counties and ordering an airstrike that killed another Nobel peace prize recipient. It would be unfair to put all of that at his feet since the US is a plutocracy ruled by the rich and Military Industrial Complex, but still, it is rather damning evidence that the Nobel peace prize is a farce.

    Absolutely phenomenal, thank you so much for doing the absolutely wonderful revolutionary man that was Fidel Castro, justice. I can assuredly say that this further reminded me that history certainly did absolve him. Fantastic acting, and fantastic delivery. Great job man. Viva Fidel! Viva la revolucion! Hasta la victoria siempre!
