> Why have we never seen Cubans commit terrorist attacks against Americans because the US "invaded" them in the 50s?

We have seen that. In fact Cubans were the stereotypical anti-US terrorists before Arabs (often sponsored by Cuba and/or the USSR, during the Cold War) took over the role.

In the Cold War, Cuba played a role in Latin America very similar to that Iran plays now in the Middle East.
