Bay of Pigs, anyone?
I understand the point of such a statement, and we can argue about the merits, but as a "warning" to Cuba, how worthless is this? What is the US going to do? Impose sanctions?
Apparently, he's going to try and extoll democracy to the people of Cuba. (He's a democracy promoter, you know....)
President Bush is planning to issue a stern warning Wednesday that the United States will not accept a political transition in Cuba in which power changes from one Castro brother to another, rather than to the Cuban people.

Great point.
For decades now, we've made ourselves look foolish with our policy towards Cuba. At least we're being consistent. ;-)

Can you imagine the nightmare we'd be living -- if we'd be living -- if W was president in 1962?!

Abi, again, what can the US really threaten? The best we've got is "supporting" pro democracy groups, and I don't think the Cubans are set for a real pro-US coup. We'd probably end up with another Chavez and more anti americanism in Latin America.

EPM, Yeah, I though about that alot when the 9-11 report came out, and we learned that Cheney pretty much took over.
