By this statement you belie your ignorance of American history.  Sure
Cuba got a form of independence after we kicked the Spaniards out.
They got a constitution that was written in the United States Senate
which  included language allowing the US to intervene at will if it
felt that American interests were endangered.  What resulted was half
a century of corrupt American  gangster dominated government, setting
the state for the understandably self-righteous but arrogant  and heavy handed 
Fidel Castro to take over.
