Cuba Embargo Is Ploy to Topple Castro
The headline “Coalition Will Lobby Washington to End Embargo Against Cuba” (June 9) was eye-catching. The “sticking point,” the story says, is Castro’s rule.
Our concerted efforts are finally beginning to take effect. Unable to trade, Cuba is cash-poor.
If we work things right, we will return Cuba to its pre-Castro days: U.S.-owned sugar fields and other foreign-owned big business, maybe even casinos, the playground of the rich; side streets lined with brothels; Cubans to serve as “labor” and returning them to living in hovels and among the hungry, homeless and illiterate.
Then we will have succeeded. They will become like us.
