Yes, Cuba could have been a great friend to the U.S. but the U.S. acted in the interest capital, instead of fairness to the Cuban people. Half of all of Cubas land, and all its industry was owned by U.S. investment.
I wonder how a Goldwater administration would have dealt with Castro. Almost every aspect of LBJ's foreign policy was a dismal failure, and Cuba is no exception.
Communism was doomed to fail.. nothing to fear.. Cuba has been an isolated island deluded from reality. always has and always will.

Sen. Goldwater didn't have much he could use against President Johnson in 1964 to win Popular Support. But Cuba was one issue he did have.
