Yes, the salmon quit stopping in our rivers after the alaskans got them all too.

"The Miami kidnapping has backfired in a huge way because a vast swath of the
electorate in this country has now lost all respect for the Miami Cuban-Americans."

Yes ... even this son of exiles is having a hard time with them - salon.com

They've actually become irrelevant and not a little deleterious to the situation some time ago, but now they have pointed up the fact in vivid fashion. How did they ever get control of american foreign policy in the first place, that's what stumps me.

I have to wonder how many of those Cuban "Americans" in Miami are really the old Batista aristocracy looking to get in a dig at Castro at any cost.

To me the solution has been obvious from day one. Try this test to cut through the fog and baloney: walk up to five people on the street and ask them who their "greeat uncle" is ... then ask the same five who their father is ... bet you get blank stares from the first question and instant answers to the second.
