Castro joke

In the beginning of his diaries, Reagan says, "Intelligence reports say Castro is very worried about me. I'm very worried that we can't come up with something to justify his worrying." That quote, combined with the video, shows how he treats communism as somewhat of a joke. At least, outwardly he does, and I think that his approach works in the eyes of the American people. It decreases fear and increases confidence by portraying Communism as a silly thing.
