:Your argumentation may be wrong, but at least you've argumented now. Even smileys can't sufficiently compensate for the lack of personality in contacts such as these, so I should indeed have toned my comment down a bit (sleeping on it is often a good advise and it was late....). My apologies. I just reverted your edit, but I'll change it now to your proposal. I see you also did this the wrong way around, first editing and then reading the talk pages :) . By the way, a little tip; you make several saves per edit, which rather clogs up the history. I suggest using the preview button, possibly combined with a separate editor if you're afraid of losing stuff. [[User:DirkvdM|DirkvdM]] 07:03, 2 August 2005 (UTC)
One might keep in mind that Castro's landing was supported by bloody urban fighting in Santiago under the direction of Frank Pais, and that Castro's landing occurred after that fighting had started. Closer support (essentially rescued) efforts were carried out by Celia Sanchez, the bandit Cresencio Perez and his brother, and the trucks from the rice of farm of Huber Matos were used to pick up survivors. There were a number of internal conflicts between the the non-communist groups, such as those of Frank Pais and later "Daniel's". The Che Guevara's 1957 purge of "bandits" (notice Cresencio Perez apparently still growning marijuana is untouched) in the Sierra Maestra might well be looked at as a power grab, since this event triggered many early defections (as can be evaluated reading the Che's diaries and other sources). Frank Pais and "Daniel" both seem to have been betrayed the first to the Batista police in Santiago, and the second by "strategic" withdrawal of the Che's forces during "La Offensiva". "El Ingles."
