Yeah. It's 2002, nearly half a century since the death of Uncle Joe. The fSU is toast, and we still have to hear that Haiti isn't such a bad deal compared to Cuba. Presumably other American-sponsored places in Central America aren't such bad deals compared to Cuba either. Guatemala... El Salvador... Well, maybe not... But hey, there's always Costa Rica! I forgot about Costa Rica!
