"Do the Castro's deserve anything from Washington? No. They're venal dictators and opportuniist, self-aggrandizing fools who have kept their country impoverished and backward for their own personal reasons.
But the Cuban people deserve better. The recent slight opening of travel restrictions trumpted by the Obama administration - allowing academics, journalists and artists to go to the island - is absurd. As someone who worked at Radio Free Europe/Radio Libery when the Soviet bloc collapsed, and who traveled to Cuba during a brief opening in the 1990s, I can promise you nothing would kill the Castro regime faster than kindness."
