*Cuba Will Continue to Drive the U.S. Crazy - PostGlobal - Moises Naim

Interessante quel che dice sul ruolo saprofita di Chavez vs l'embargo: piu' e' startto l'embargo, piu usa e' irrilevante per cuba, piu' chavez ha gioco...

Cuba Will Continue to Drive the U.S. Crazy - PostGlobal - Moises Naim:

Washington, DC - As long as U.S. law forbids nearly any interaction with Cuba, America will have no influence there and Hugo Chavez will make sure that Cuba keeps driving the United States mad.

Countries often drive one another crazy because of the disproportionate influence of special interests like the Cuban lobby in the U.S. Think of the Bay of Pigs invasion or the outsourcing of Castro's assassination to the Mafia. But the problem is not only that this lobby drives the United States to do idiotic things but that it also induces an acute amnesia in U.S. politicians, which makes them forget everything the world has painfully learned about the transition from communism."
