If Communist Cuba didn't exist, may be most of those dictatorships wouldnt have happened.

And Costa Rica may be an exception because their lefties (or liberals) were smart enough to keep their eyes on the price.

You have causation wrong. Cuba is now communist because it was one of those dictatorships. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fulgencio_Batista

The countless dictatorships, puppet governments, and US/European interventions didn't start when Castro and Che came down out of the mountains in 1956.
