Capital:  Havana

Current leader:  President Raul Castro

Cuba is an island country located in the Caribbean Sea, at the mouth of the Gulf of Mexico. It is about 90 miles (145 kilometers) south of Key West, Florida. It consists of one large main island and some 1,700 smaller offshore islands, most of them uninhabited. Cuba’s main island is the largest island in the Caribbean Sea. For more than 50 years it has had the distinction of being the only communist-ruled country in the Western Hemisphere.

 Almost all Cubans are of either mixed Spanish and Native American ancestry or African and Spanish ancestry. Some are a mixture of all three. About 99 percent of the population lives on the main island. Most Cubans are Roman Catholics although the government tries to keep a lid on religion, fearing that it could undermine the government’s authority.

 Cuba is the world’s leading sugar cane exporter. Other major crops are bananas, oranges, mangoes and tobacco. Cuba is known worldwide for its high-quality cigars.

 Despite being a very poor country, due in part of the strict U.S. embargo, in many ways, Cubans enjoy relatively comfortable standard of living. It has one of the world’s high literacy rates. Education is free and schools are plentiful. Health care is also free and its health care system is considered to be one of the best in the world.

 Except for a brief spell from 1762 to 1763, when it was seized by the British, Cuba was a Spanish colony from the early-1500’s to 1898, when it was acquired by the United States from Spain following the Spanish-American War. The U.S. granted the country independence in 1902.

 During the 1930’s and 1940’s Cuba flourished as Latin America’s main center of culture and arts and was a top destination for the wealthy. However, this also helped create a frighteningly large gap between the rich and poor, the later becoming increasingly resentful. Rebels, led by Fidel Castro, who was aided by Che Guevara, drove then-dictator Fulgencio Batista y Zaldivar from power. Castro assumed leadership and began slowly dismantling individual freedoms and taking complete control of the economy. Relations with U.S. deteriorated and Castro sought closer ties with the Soviet Union.

 In 1962, Cuban became ground zero for the most fearful moment during the Cold War when he allowed the Soviets to station nuclear-tipped guided missiles in the country. U.S. President John F. Kennedy ordered an immediate naval blockade of the country to stop the movement of Soviet missile. For thirteen harrowing days the world stood on the brink of the long-feared war between the world’s two most powerful countries. After feverish talks, the Soviet Union backed down from its decision to place the missiles in Cuba.

Here I would like to give some opinions that have brought the leaders in this country which is Malaysia that can have their own follower and not to forget criticizers.

First and foremost, Tun Dr. Mahathir, fourth Prime Minister of Malaysia which have made a lot of changes in determining the target of this nation to be developed country in the year 2020 by producing Vision 2020. He has put the mindset in the people in Malaysia to think on improving their lifestyle and be part of the people who contributing to the nation. His idea cultivate people mind to do changes to guarantee their future. As have been quote from previous President of United States:

“Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future. “
John F. Kennedy

Next most influence leader is Tuan Guru Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat, a politician and Menteri Besar of Kelantan States, Malaysia. He is a great leader which always be with his people. As we always said, low profile character or down to earth. He try to fulfill the people need without neglecting the human development about spiritual and lifestyle. Taking care about the akhlaq of the people in his states is the priority in developing a great ummah. He appreciates his people and live like his people live.

“As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.”
John F. Kennedy

From my opinion, both of them have great qualities to be explore and practice by us. Every people will do mistake and these leaders as well but we can take their good qualities in order to be a great future leader which will lead the next generation in developing think nation and world toward a better place to live. Be a leader which walk the talk is hard when they cannot convince the people on their credibility. In order to lead the nation,building good characteristics will lead to the great nation.

We should not have to filter through all the crap that politicians put out there. We as Americans should be appalled by this. We have had a number of wonderful presidents because we knew what we wanted as a nation. 

George Washington
Abraham Lincoln
Teddy Roosevelt
John F. Kennedy
Andrew Jackson

All these names are famous because they did the right thing and not only that they did not take crap from people. They told the people what they were going to do and then… shocker… they did it!

Andrew Jackson and Teddy Roosevelt were especially good at this! They were some of the greatest ball busters of their respective times. We all know about these people because they were good at what they did. 

We have to ask ourselves as Americans who do we want as president.

People said that they wanted:
Bring Hope and Joy
Realism, Understanding, Leadership.
Charismatic and intelligent
Specific Aims
Fearlessness
Ask the tough questions and produce results

Look to yourself and when you vote take the knowledge of candidates with you. Don’t vote for someone that you are going to regret voting for. Not voting for someone sends a message that you want another candidate.
