Oh please. The Miami community encircled the Gonzales house with rings of affinity groups and paramilitary to thwart any attempt at reclaiming Eli n. The collision was inevitable. Reno had no choice. But just like the Texans defeated Santa Ana when he was taking his siesta or Washington defeated the mercenary Prussians at Trenton, the INS lightning raid steam-rolled the sleeping volunteers. The resistance was highly organized, even if wholly ineffective. Tactically the Little Havana raid was a screaming success. It shows that the decision not to support the Bay of Pigs landing may have been well grounded in not wanting to be backing the losing side. The paramilitary Cubans have shown themselves to be impotent at defense as well as offense. They only seem to be able to set themselves up for confrontations they can't win.
