You can tell that President Bush is serious about pushing for change in Cuba and not just pandering to emigre whack-jobs because of the conditions he’s setting for easing the embargo: free and fair elections next year and creating a market economy.
Actually, I believe this can be seen as an example of the greatness of American democracy: the way our government can simultaneously undertake grave and profound efforts like the struggle against al Qaida but still have time for goofball antics like playing the old Cuba game down in Little Havana.
If we don’t make fools of ourselves in South Florida the terrorists will have won!
