RE: "Fidel Castro rests triumphantly” (The New Times, November 28).

On Fidel Castro’s death, may God bless his soul. Sadly, we are always reminded of how hypocrisy dominates this world. In my view, I think hypocrisy is a menace to the world peace to the same level as terrorism does.

Whereas Castro was not a saint, what you are hearing now from the West, including some governments and their media, is how brutal, terrible "dictator” Castro was. Yet, if you were to compare the number of innocent children, men, and women indirectly killed by their own (Western) leaders, Castro would be considered a David and their leaders Goliath.
