He was obviously and enemy of the state, and so I'm not surprised nor am I sorry that he's dead. If we hadn't killed him he would have gotten to us eventually, and the U.S. would probably be a commonwealth, and that's not what America is about. But I'm not going to call him an evil man either.

He was a man just like the rest of us who had ideals different than most of us do, but there's something about him that inspires a respect in me that I have for almost no one else. He was a man who was not hesitant about fighting for what he believed in, even though he didn't really have to. He was a commander and a person of high regard in Cuba and in other countries and so he didn't have to get his hands dirty and personally get into the fight. He could have stayed in an office and not worry about anything but handing out commands, but he didn't. He did what most of us couldn't do unless we had to. He got up, he went out, and he fought.

Against all odds he fought for what he believed was right and just, and even though I'm glad he lost, my respect goes out to him because of it. This kind of person shouldn't be looked at as a monster, but as a worthy adversary, who fought well and bravely, but who ultimately succumbed to his fate. Perhaps not many will agree with me, but I think this man deserves at least that.
