Cool. Ok I'm getting better picture. Sorry, I just want to keep picking your brain.
1) Accepted
2) From what I understand, many if not most of these investors were actually mobs and although money came in, it was at the expense of the native population. Prostitution and gambling made money for the investors but not for the natives and having women having sex with johns everywhere didn't make it the most pleasant place to live. The impression I get is that it was a lot like Vegas except 100 times worse.
2) Interesting. How about now? The USSR has collapsed for over 10 years now. Can we not help Cubans now probably try our experiment there before going to Iraq?
