Steve,  

    But if Castro had wealth or oil to spread around here in the U.S. like say....the Royal family in Saudi Arabia... then he would also be welcomed with open arms??  Give me a freaking break. The United States supports dictators when it benefits the United States.  Castro is too proud and defiant to bend over and kiss America's ass.  Bush is just pulling election year politics (which he learned from watching Clinton and his spindoctors do for years)under the guise of Homeland security.  He needs as many votes in Florida as he can get. Jeb can't help him this go'round. 

   Castro is not interested in the overthrow of the US government or conducting or for that matter, even supporting terrorism against us. Our beef with Castro has more to do with human rights abuses than anything else. If Cuba had any natural resources to exploit, or anything of value to offer besides cigars or perhaps, cheap labor, U.S. big business would be down there setting shop tomorrow...socialist republic or not. You can bet your boy Bush would see to that. 

Todd
