One thing to consider is that Castro's regime represented an increase in liberty for most Cubans. Prior to Castro, it was ruled by a brutal dictator (Batista), who was supported by the American government. While Castro may have restricted certain political freedoms, the fact is that most Cubans are far better off today than they would have been under Batista's rule.
So the point is that while people may seem properly motivated (opposed to Castro, terrorists, etc), it is often the government and liverty they claim to love which has actually created those problems. Imagine a Vietnam where we had helped Ho-Chi Minh (excuse the spelling) instead of forcing him to go to the Chinese for independence from his white colonial rulers, or a Cuba where we had supported a democratic government instead of the more economically conveninent Batista.
