#1 (1) Remove the boycott and let the forces of capitalism strike Cuba head-on. Castro will be forced to put up restrictions of his own to stay in total control. Besides, the boycott only enriches castro just as the Oil for Food enriched Saddam at the expense of his people.

(2) Put a couple of marine carriers off of the cuban coast (in international waters of course) and let it be know that anyone that makes it to the American ships will be transfered to America. The island will be mostly depopulated in a week which would humiliate Castro.

#2 Yank: I don't know about #2, given the recent Rantburg entry on how well Castro infiltrated the anti-Castro groups in America. I wouldn't put it past him to put a bunch of his own guys into the water, and having Castroites wandering around an American carrier isn't my idea of a good time... or am I being too paranoid? (They all think I'm paranoid... ALL of them...;)
