[Sadly, the larger concern is what a fat load of nothing Cuba has gotten for
placating the US -- e.g., from today's NY Times:]

Bush Hires Hard-Liners to Handle Cuba Policy

By Christopher Marquis

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2 ? At a time when Cuba is exhibiting increasing signs of
reaching out to the United States, the Bush administration is filling its
Latin America policy ranks with officials known for a hard-line stance
toward Fidel Castro's government.

Several incoming officials advocate an unyielding hostility toward Cuba and
the maintenance, if not strengthening, of a trade embargo that is four
decades old.

The policy being promoted by people like Otto J. Reich, a Cuban exile who is
the State Department's top policy maker for Latin America, is increasingly
placing the administration at odds with farmers, business executives and a
growing number of members of Congress ? including many Republicans ? who
have been pushing for trade with Cuba. But the hard line is still an article
of faith among many Cuban-Americans.
