Anger In Cuba Runs Deep
BBC: Cuba protests: Frustration at government runs deep

"There were riots, disorder, caused by a communications operation that has been prepared for some time, to which multi-million dollar resources have been destined: laboratories, technological platforms [backed] with funds of the United States government."

WNU Editor: Another main stream media article explaining why Cubans are protesting, but avoiding the issue of how much these people want freedom.
The current situation in Cuba reminds me of what I saw and experienced in the former Soviet Union before it fractured 30 years ago.
It always takes time, but in the end a breaking point is reached, and people will no longer care (or fear) the government that controls them.
I do not know if Cuba is at that breaking point right now. But it is getting there.
