I'm guessing that if push comes to shove, at least some of these folk would endorse a Bush admin humanitarian intervention. The rest might criticize Bush, but would claim such an intervention was largely Castro's ownf fault because he had failed to heed their warnings on the treatment of dissidents in Cuba. In other words, we are dealing with people, who are little different from the "State Department socialists" of days of yore.
