Even though Steven Spielberg, Jack Nicholson, Naomi Campbell, Spike Lee, Robert Redford, Leonardo DiCaprio and Kevin Costner all want to say what a heaven Cuba is and leftists that point out that Cuba has the very best health care system in the world, the reality (not to the reality based community) is Cuba is a mess.
Celebrity and other tourists give glowing reports, but bristle when asked about tourist apartheid, because they can't acknowledge the truth.
The Cuban government blames the "blockade" -- as it refers to U.S.
sanctions -- for the country's economic shortcomings.
But some Cubans say the government has only itself to blame for the
urban decay of Havana.
"It's late to try to save the rich diversity of this architecture,"
said Cuban writer Antonio Jose Ponte. "It's not far-fetched to think that
Central Havana will disappear."
Communism is still alive and it is still killing all that is good.
