Hello Sridhar,
We shouldn't have tried to prevent it because
it's none of our business.
I think Cuba is worse off with Castro, but it just simply isn't our place
to change that. That is for the people of Cuba to do.
We were genuinely worried about Castro's wanting to have nukes only
90 miles offshore of the US mainland. Right or wrong, it was a real danger
we wanted not to have happen.
But of course now we know that Castro did not want nukes in Cuba. If I am
remembering the story correctly, he didn't even know the Soviets were
bringing them in until they were on the island.
But of course that's neither here nor there.
