This time its Cuba

For over 40 years every time Castro's internal problems have gotten
worse he's called up the "big bad USA" routine to try and distract his
people.

Every since the late USSR stopped funneling a couple of billion a year
into Cuba to prop up its failed communist economy, things have been
going downhill there even quicker.

And of course it's 'just' the US - the fact that both Mexico and Peru
have severely reduced diplomatic relations with Cuba couldn't possibly
mean there was any common opinion regarding Cuba ("Mexico, Peru Withdraw
Ambassadors from Cuba",
http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmp...xico_cuba_dc_5).

It's just the USA being unilateral again; ignore the actions of those
other countries in the Western Hemisphere.

The interesting question is what happens when Castro dies? He's not
young, and, like many dictators, has killed or exiled anyone who might
possibly have the ability to successfully succeed him. His brother Raul
is not exactly the charismatic leader Castro was, nor is Raul much
younger. Talk about a potential power vacuum and chaos.

The US Coast Guard already has plans to stop any boats heading to Cuba
after his death; we're not interested in a bunch of old exiles rushing
over there to try and reclaim what they lost in 1959.
