When our government does these things, they are barely reported upon by the media. One country's subversion is another country's efforts to look out for its legitimate strategic interests. Since the U.S. regards Central and South America and the Caribbean as its private domain, it's no surprise that over the last 50 years, the U.S. was engaged in acts of subversion in Brazil, Chile, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Haiti, Nicaragua, Panama and Uruguay, as well as Cuba. Given this history, Cuba had justification to shoot down the planes of Brothers To the Rescue. But since Cuba is still considered the sworn enemy of the U.S. government and the Cuban exiles in Florida will not allow any slack to be cut for Castro, this stupid Cold War sham battle will continue indefinitely.
Double standards are stubborn things.
