Short of military action, there is little the US can do to topple the Castro regime. Since Castro is able to trade with most of the rest of the world, our embargoes do little but keep the country poorer than it would otherwise be. If there's anything we ought to consider, it's this: if Cuba were to become a prosperous nation with a strong middle class, they would get rid of castro on their own. We're losing sight of the fact that our most powerful weapons for change in the world are our ideals and our culture. Not our combined arms infantry divisions and super-carrier battlegroups.
