I saw Prez. W the other day, passionately explaining the hyphenated Cubans in Miami how he won't tolerate any relaxation of the Cuban embargo unless Castro allows free elections, free worship, homosexual marriages and unfiltered Internet access in all Cuban public schools. I tried to imagine W making a similar speech but saying China. Or Pakistan. I'm sure he knows where the Chinese leaders' power is coming from. And I'm sure he didn't believe that the Paki strong man REALLY got 97% of the vote at the last referendum.

So... why Cuba? It couldn't possibly be politically motivated. If it were so, then the Prez passion would not be as genuine as it appeared to be while he addressed those Cubans in Fla.

He wouldn't 'fake' this stuff. Right? He REALLY believes that the Chinese deserve every single advantage they derive off commerce and other ties with us while the Cubans don't.

I don't know which is worst. He believing that the Chinese are good or significantly better than Castro or he playing a political game. Well, one of the two must be true, I just don't know which one.
