S.<br />Mirta is right when she states that Cuba "cannot put its hand on any lever with real political power".<br />Is that a reason for the U. S. to keep its foot on Cuba's throat?<br />Shame on those that continue this policy, it is ineffective and cruel and it has been so from the begining.jperezcarohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13837279920750958812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3463079412032002225.post-6256371119466774782009-05-13T12:27:00.000-07:002009-05-13T12:27:00.000-07:00Mr Perez seems to forget that Cuba is not China (C...Mr Perez seems to forget that Cuba is not China (Chinese own millions of American debt), nor Saudi Arabia (also owns American debt and is an important ally in the Middle East) nor Vietnam (against whom a war was already lost). Other than earning the so called "Latin American good will" (which amounts to really nothing given the fact that hating the U.S. is a dogma among many Latin American citizens either way) why would the U.S. bow down to an island without any real political power other than its ability to rant and sell Che Guevara T-Shirts. I think the U.S. can afford to pressure Cuba precisely because Cuba cannot put its hand on any lever with real political power.MANOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17260540944291373616noreply@blogger.com
