John Hawkins does a nice job describing the sadness. I happened to catch the show. It's fairly unreal to watch a guy make every excuse in the book for a dictator like Castro. Hell, what else do you expect from a pro-Taliban nut-job?

Why Would Anyone Moon Over Castro Of All People?: Castro is an incompetent & brutal Communist thug who has mired his people in poverty & squalor. In the US, left-wingers and celebrities rant about their "dissent being squashed", Bush acting like a "dictator", and how terrible it is to live in the United States. However, in Cuba, dissent is REALLY squashed, there is REALLY a dictator in charge, and the people are REALLY miserable, so much so that they're willing to risk their lives crossing the ocean on anything that floats just to get away from Castro's merciless regime. Yet, Castro's most ardent supporters are the very same left-wingers and celebs who seem to believe that Bush is going to, or already has made America into another Cuba.[...]

Incidentally, John also points over to this worthwhile Jeff Jacoby piece on the subject of Castro and the fauning he receives.
