Only 2 solutions to the Cuban problem ***There are only two solutions to the Cuban problem. One is the application of a real embargo, prohibiting any money to be sent there from this or any country. Same with travel. An embargo by the whole world. The kind of embargo placed on South Africa during apartheid. Yes, it is hard, but it would work. I have relatives in Cuba, and I have never sent a penny there.

The other solution is an American intervention and temporary occupation, for perhaps six years. In the '90s, there was an embargo against Haiti. When that failed, the Clinton administration sent an aircraft carrier. We restored a "leader" (or another dictator, depending on whom you ask). There was a catch, though -- the Congressional Black Caucus was in favor of that great military action.

People who know me well know that, for 40 years, I've been present for the Cuban cause and will always be. To reach these conclusions has not been easy, but I challenge anybody to give me another solution, logical and feasible. I'm all ears. Just make sure you speak loud enough for the Cuban opposition to hear you -- behind all that concrete.***
