Castro is trying to use Carter to create the impression that he and his revolution is open, liberal, and credible. I don't think that's working, either with the Cubans or anyone else. Message 17470425 ('They pretend to pay us and we pretend to work'). Carter won't do Castro any favours by making liberal speeches. Thus Castro is a traitor and will have to be assassinated to preserve the glory of the sacrifice of so many Cubans over the last 43 years. Is there anyone left in Cuba who believes that communist nonsense? They're in the last stages just as the Russians were twenty years ago. What remains to be seen is whether the younger people have the heart to spill even more blood to maintain the fraud - which I doubt because they don't have blood on their hands already. Cuba is a poverty stricken dictatorship and can only save itself by droppping the communist illusion of denying time and opening to the modern world. Unfortunately for the Cubans, Cuba presents no threat to the US and has been protected from modernity by US isolationist policy which has been maintained out of habit more than thoughtful policy. Al Qaida uses lenenist methods but is only interested in preserving the "purity" of islamist beliefs. There is no constituency in Cuba for them and there is no symbolic value in an operation there except to free the prisoners at Guantanamo. Assassinate Castro for allowing the US to use the base as a prison for Taliban/Qaida? Perhaps, but this would be in the interests of the west and modernity, which al Qaida has sworn to destroy.
