It cannot be read without assuming that the United states is apologetic in some manner for the misconduct of Castro. Here is Ute opening statement a a. Tile hemisphere rejoiced at the overthrow of the Batista tyranny looked with sympathy on the new regime and welcomed its promises of political Freedom and social Justice for the cuban people. Tile Challenge results from the fact that the leaders of the revolutionary regime betrayed their own revolution delivered that revolution into the hands of Powers alien to the hemisphere and transformed it into an instrument employed with calculated effect to suppress the rekindled Hopes of the cuban people for democracy and to intervene in the internal affairs of Oiler american in the first place the hemisphere a meaning North and South America did not devote itself to the overthrow of Batista.
