Compare Cuba with Gulf countries

"The Cuban government continues to crack down on political dissent, and administration officials acknowledge that Havana has not done enough to allow for freedom of expression. Rhodes said Thursday that the president would meet with dissidents during next month’s visit."  This is the differences between Cuba and US allies in the Gulf: In the Gulf there are no dissidents that are allowed to exist outside of jail, and no US president would dare ask to meet with them.  So spare me your silly rhetoric about human rights in Cuba.
