Cuba is by any sane standards an "ordinary" dictatorship as were Poland and Czechoslovakia before 1989. Ditto Serbia, or Iraq.
Just to get off the point, Serbia isn't *actually* a dictatorship. It may be a pretty feeble example of a democracy, but they do hold real elections, and it is (constitutionally at least) possible to kick the ruling party out of power. Whether it or not it now *turns into* a dictatorship following Milosevic losing the elections is another matter entirely. mike.
