I would reckon that they have little chance of filling any power vacuum in Cuba. I think time in the US has eroded their will to actually be an effective force there. If the Elian drama is any guide they are not fit to lead. They have reduced themselves merely to a band of impotent whiners. Would they seriously expect at this point to go back and reassert their old property claims? Lord, I can hear their whining already.

With a whole generation that has never set foot in Cuba, I think their desire to return has been dulled by too many years in the US. For the younger ones this fight is still their father's fight, but their fathers are growing old. Too old perhaps, if they think that stealing a little boy from a father in Cuba is good politics. Or that it puts them any more that another step away from where they say they want to be.
