Well, actually the C.I.A. wanted Castro "eliminated" (that's the word that Dulles scratched out of the memo and replaced with "removed from Cuba") back in '59 or early '60. It was originally hoped that Castro could be turned democratic. Obviously that didn't pan out, hence the C.I.A.'s desire to eliminate Castro, but it's not the Bay of Pigs that caused any grudge; the Bay of Pigs invasion was the result of a desire to rid Cuba of Castro.

You're ignorant, but try to realize that communism does not equal evil... despite what your textbooks tell you. It's a political system and is just as tried and tested as capitalism, simple as that. Freedom means different countries being run how they please. Forcing your political system, values, and way of life on other civilizations that have been around for long before the US is not freedom. It's hipocricy.

Communism is just as tried and tested a capitalism? Communism as manifested in Cuba under Castro? In the U.S.S.R. under Stalin? China under Mao? North Vietnam under Ho Chi Minh? Show me your communist regime and I'll show you an economic and humanitarian failure.
