Anatol Lieven wrote an Article/Op-Ed, April 27, 2007, in The International Herald Tribune: "Two things should be clear concerning America's Cuba policy: Everything the United States has tried over the past five decades has failed, and it is high time that Washington does something to help transform the country's Communist system. The impending transition of power from Fidel Castro to his brother Raśl gives Washington the chance to adopt a new strategy. ....

The Washington establishment talks of the superiority of the free market system, and America's duty to spread that system in the world. Capitalism is by no means a cure-all, and even a capitalist Cuba might still challenge U.S. policies. Nonetheless, the course of human development would tend to suggest that free market states are far more likely to try to resolve their problems in ways that do not disrupt the international economic stability on which all depend.We stand to lose nothing by trying this approach with Cuba. We have already tried everything else without success".

Was Cuba ever really a threat to the United States?

The Castro era is ending. So should the era of heavy-handed US tactics.
