why does the usa hate fidel

[Mr.Obvious]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but: You ask why they dislike him. Yet when they give their reason, your counterreasoning seems to be; "you have no valid ground to dislike him because America is worse". 
I see a lot of Americans on this site who are capable of questioning the status quo in America and thinking sceptically about their own country. Disliking Castro or another form of government does not mean they accept their own country or government as perfect. It's possible to be dismayed about both. And it's even possible to be dismayed about aspects of both.

The world isn't so black and white. Look close enough and you'll find shit on everything.
And always remember; there's enough hate for everyone to share in this world.

If things were that simplistic we wouldn't even be discussing it.

Pretty much.  And obviously, a turd doesn't get any more pleasant after one compares it to another turd.

That doesn't make Fidel better by any stretch of the imagination.

Clarify for me as to why not trading with a country causes that country suffering?

Name any country that doesn't treat its own people like shit?

[Baruch]

I guess we should have traded with a country that was inimical to our body politic? Japan in 1941, perhaps, or Nazi Germany?

IBM and GM did ... both before and during WW II ... they were multi-national corporations way back then.  IBM provided the tabulating equipment to round up the Jews in Germany.  Like Schindler's List, but without any mercy.  And the company Brown-Harriman (and Prentice Bush) were in the middle of German business and politics.

The US and German companies split up, so the US companies were not doing business with the Nazis.

I don't think he was universally hated or loved, of course. People referred to Joseph Dzugashvili as "The Great Stalin" and appealed to him to "correct the mistake" that sent their family members to the gulags, when he himself signed the orders. Controlling the media had a lot to do with that.

The Nazi card is now replaced with the Stalin card (how long until someone compares X to Hitler/Stalin).  Everyone is Hitler/Stalin (even if you only got a parking ticket) ... kill you all ;-(  George Washington was a traitor, Abraham Lincoln was a war monger (but not a slaver ... wooo was worried for a moment).

All true Americans want a D-R stick up their heinee ...

But, you open your coddled egg at the wrong end!

Ah, Christianity then ... the left hand didn't know what the right hand was doing ... really, such fantasy.

That is why, Apple can keep billions of profits outside the US ... because it is a US company, only when they feel like it ;-)

I've always been a Bigendian, unless they're out of power, in which case I'm a Littleendian.

Lovely to be able to believe what you want to believe is believable.
