"MORE ERRORS in earlier comments - 1. ""Batista was known for having his army mutilate opponents and display their dead bodies on television"" this is simply not true, though quaint if compared to GW Bush. 2. ""pretty much a toss-up"" the crimes (and stupidity) of Castro, Guevara and associates has been much greater and longer lasting, destroying the society and economy. 3. Since Messrs Grau and Prio were duly elected, they would normally be and were recognized, ""despite their opposition to Batista"" is a non-sequitur.
