cuba has good literacy but that doesn't mean they aren't poor. They live in daily poverty and teaching them to read and providing care doesn't mean they have money. Provide a link discussing the poverty or hunger in Cuba, economics not education. A good literacy rate and healthcare system do not necessarily mean Cuba is without poverty.
Show me an inner-city school in our American paradise that doesn't need the same thing.
our schools may not have top of the line computers in every room but they aren't nearly as bad as you say. Have you seen them? Been in one?. The real improvement in our schools needs to come from student motivation and parents actually making sure their children do their work. Many parents feel that education is the school's responsibility and that they don't have to do anything. Not everyone is like this but those who care are the ones who succeed.

providing food and distribution during an expected winter famine last year.
Castro is merely playing the game that has been started by the U.S.
The U.S. is merely playing the game everyone else does.
Castro has done things like this before, the U.S. is not neccessary for his repression.
Ah politics. Rumsfeld's startegy was to remind the world that we too have weapons of mass distraction. If you use chemical weapons we might just use a nuclear weapon. Everyone called Reagon crazy but he finally ended the cold war. Was a nuke used in Iraq? No. Did the "Gulf War II" end with a surprisingly bloodless conclusion ? Yes. Have we scared the shit out of Syria, North Korea and Iran? Yes.
