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.
Jim F. -- Being in a country in which de-authoritarianization led to catastrophe, I must say that I find Nathan's, Luke's and Michael's comments to be incredibly irresponsible. You are playing with serious fire. There are much, much worse things than restriction of civil liberties. You want Cuba to wind up like Armenia? I would certainly rather live in Yerevan in 1975 than today.
