	washingtonpost.com: Policy Met Politics in Cuba Rules
		This confluence of policymaking and politics led to the tightest restrictions on Cuban Americans' interactions with the island in decades: a limit of one visit every three years, a sharp reduction in how much they can spend there and new curbs on the goods they can send.
		Cuba policy has historically been driven by domestic politics, but this episode -- in accounts given by participants and close observers in Miami and Washington -- offers an exceptional glimpse into how the two interact.
		Officials said critical political input came from the president's brother Jeb Bush, who is Florida's governor and an avid cultivator of the state's Cuban American population.

	The Globalist \| Global Politics -- Why Cuba Hates the EU
		After exhausting her patience and capacity for dialogue and tolerance, Cuba feels obliged to reply to what it considers to be the European Union's hypocritical and opportunist behaviour.

		While Cuba's offer might send a chill up the spines of those who still view Castro's regime as a Cold War enemy, it is an appealing idea to many African-Americans who view the U.S. economic embargo against Cuba as a mean-spirited policy.
		Cuba's offer to train hundreds of African-Americans as doctors is a helping hand that shouldn't be made the latest casualty of this country's Soviet-era policy toward this Caribbean island nation.

	AEGiS-BKREV: Sexual Politics in Cuba: Machismo, Homosexuality, and AIDS
		"This work is part of an ongoing study of social and educational changes in Cuba since the Revolution of 1959." In this study Leiner has looked into the issues of gender equality, machismo, and homosexuality as they pertained to sex education and especially to AIDS.
		Cuba responded to AIDS as quickly as it could resulting in 9,771,691 people being tested by April, 1991 or almost the entire population.
		Whatever solutions become possible, they preclude a political leadership that is so afraid of losing macho control that it hides its head in the sand and waits for the storm to pass." This is a highly recommended book for public and academic libraries.

		Timmerman's Cuba: a journey (item bi 91019491) is a testimonial based on first-hand observations and conversations, in which the author probes popular attitudes and finds there has been considerable erosion of the people's support for the Revolution.
		Likewise, Stubbs' Cuba: a test of time (item bi 91019498) offers a sensible interpretation of 30 years of revolution and change while documenting growing discontent and questioning as to where the regime is headed.

		On Wednesday, eight organisations, including the Grenada Trade Union Council and four political parties, adopted a resolution reaffirming ”that Cuba is part of the Caribbean region, and that peaceful co-existence and mutual respect are essential for development”.

	Cuba Embargo
		We have invaded Cuba (more than once), we have tried to asassinate Fidel Castro (many times), we have a naval base at Guantanamo Bay on Cuba (how would you feel if Russia had a military base on the US mainland?).
		Because most people in the US don't care about Cuba (or even know much about it), it is easier for the politicians to appease this bloc and avoid making them angry.
		If Cuban-Americans really want democracy restored to Cuba, then the last thing they should want is the US deciding who can or cannot be in charge there.

		The political truth we face today is that there has never been-since the triumph of the Cuban Revolution on January 1, 1959-a greater possibility to change the dynamic of US-Cuban relations and force an end, or at least a major weakening and destabilization, of Washington's economic war against Cuba.
		In El Salvador an intractable military and political standoff became the reality, a ceasefire was negotiated, right-wing death squads were deactivated, and the FMLN gained the political space to be able to engage in regular elections.
		World politics is increasingly marked and shaped today by a fundamental contradiction between the massive reach and scale of US military firepower, with its hundreds of military bases on other countries land, and the glaring political weakness of Washington, deepened under the current Bush Administration, which puts definite limits on US military aggression.

		Cuba's telecommunications infrastructure is poor and outdated which, when combined with the severe restrictions placed on the Cuban population, makes Internet access beyond the reach of most Cuban citizens.
		Cuba is an island in the Caribbean Sea, situated some ninety miles south of Florida (Symmes, 1998).
		However, Cuba was removed from this list because of political pressure in the U.S., not because of any interest in human rights or freedom of expression but rather to ensure that anti-Cuban propaganda had as great a chance of crossing the short distance to Cuba as possible.

	Tom Crumpacker: The Politics of US Cuba Policy
		The primary political event that has effected US Cuba policy in the last 20 years has been the transfer of the responsibility for Cuba affairs by default (at the apparent desire of our last four presidents) from our State Department to our Congress.
		The key to our present Cuba policy can be deduced from our president's answer a couple of years ago to a question why his Cuba policy differs so radically from his China policy.
		Cuba is not particularly rich in natural resources, but it has twelve million potential consumers of our products and the survival of its revolution presents a major danger, ideologically, to world commercial oligarchy based on US hegemony.

		Anthony said the embargo was "blatantly inconsistent with international trading norms" and urged Washington to engage in "constructive engagement" with the Cuban government.
		But the summit also provided Havana with another venue to press its claim on Washington to extradite Luis Posada Carrilles, the anti-Castro Cuban émigré who is alleged to have plotted the 1976 bombing of a Cuban airliner off the coast of Barbados.
