My point was that the US has been inside Cuba's business from Day 1 (The Spanish American War). So it's bit ironic that there are folks complaining now about Cuban Americans influencing American foreign policy. As far as that criminial Castro, I believe the US did "lose" Cuba to him. Castro took over power in 1959 from a corrupt Batista with a relatively small group of rebels. Later on he consolidated his power. The US hasn't been shy about overthrowing dictators in the past, so it seems a bit strange that the situation with Fidel was a complete failure. There are quite a few details and theories that have come out as to side deals that JFK made to the Russians that guaranteed Fidel's regime.
