Contributors typically ask about Cuba's ancient Arawak, Ceboney and Taino past; brief forays into 20th century democratic politics; cultural contributions to world music and poetry; and political plans for the future.

Why didn't the US overthrow Castro?
Castro took charge of Cuba in 1959. The US tried to invade and overthrow Castro's government in the 1961 Bay of Pigs Invasion; the country repelled the US forces. Cuba had become allies with the Soviet Union in 1959, and after the failed US invasion attempt, the Soviet Union and Cuba agreed to secretly station nuclear missiles in Cuba. The US was already experiencing tension with the Soviet Union; if they attacked Cuba again, the Soviet Union/Cuba would react by initiating war via the missiles. The Cuban Missile Crisis brought the US to the brink of nuclear war with the Soviet Union, and after the removal of the missiles was negotiated, the US backed down because they didn't want tensions to heighten again. This happened during the Cold War, which started in 1947 and didn't end until 1991. The embargo set up by the US against Cuba in 1962 is still in effect today; other US interactions with Cuba have been minimal.

The US does not "hate" Cuba. The US government distrusts the government of Cuba, specifically the Castro regime, due to their roll in events like the missile crisis of October 1962. Let's keep in mind that to the Cuban perspective, they may have been operating then with an eye toward national defense. The US was aggressively involved in areas around the globe then to combat the spread of communism. Cuba was an ally of the communist Soviet Union.
The US is more than the government that runs the country. The US is 350 million American citizens, many of whom are barely confident (less so satisfied perhaps) with the ability of the government to leads us competently or safely into the future.
