My thanks to those who sent me articles. Clearly, my search had been somewhat narrow. Curiosity had not yet overcome inertia and routine. Some of these articles have already been on this list. ken h http://www.internationalviewpoint.org/spip.php?article3781 http://rogerannis.com/easing-of-u-s-embargo-on-cuba-is-a-triumph-for-the-cub http://socialistaction.org/the-cuban-five-are-free/ http://www.themilitant.com/ This writer sees the agreement as part of a "process of capitalist restoration," which he seems to see the Cuban government as favouring. I found this idea far fetched. http://www.havanatimes.org/?p=108105 Samual Farber made this idea more plausible by suggesting that "...Raúl Castro.... has been moving towards adopting the Sino-Vietnamese model..." http://www.havanatimes.org/?p=108194 This article went so far as to congratulate Obama. People's World was not far out of step with Castro who said, "The Cuban people are grateful for this just decision made by the US President, Barack Obama." Still, while diplomacy required obliged Castro to make some such remark, there was no need for People's World to adopt the tone they did. http://www.peoplesworld.org/obama-s-historic-shift-on-u-s-cuba-relations/ . _________________________________________________________ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: http://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
