“We have played to Fidel Castro’s strengths, not ours.”

Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman John Kerry says President Obama has taken “small steps” in Cuba policy – “only a start” – and calls for an end to travel restrictions and a review of Radio/TV Marti and other “programs that the Bush administration funded generously to substitute for people-to-people diplomacy.” See his op-ed in the St. Petersburg Times.

Exactly right! What other viewpoint do Cubans need than the varied news sources provided by Granma?

True harmony and undertanding can only be brought about by MORE people-to-people programs featuring folks such as the Pastors for Peace, Bill Ayers and Lefty!

What a pity such a bold thinker like Kerry was not elected President.
