Yoani Nails the Premise

The Miami Herald has a great interview with Havana-based blogger Yoani Sanchez.

She makes the following astute observation:

“Behind the economic reforms, there is government urgency because it has its coffers empty and has been forced, to its chagrin, to grant economic power to the citizens... [The reforms are] heading in the right direction of an opening, [but they] are slow and superficial.”

Yoani absolutely nails the premise.

The Castro regime is undertaking its current "dog-and-pony" show of "reforms"' because it has been forced to by its dire economic situation -- not because it wants to.

So then -- how could anyone support bailing out the Castro regime (with billions in U.S. trade, credits, investment and travel) and, thus, strengthen its totalitarian grip?
