#1 Castro also sees that Iran is begging for a beating, and doesn't want to give any excuses for action against him. I think he's afraid of GWB, who obviously isn't Clintonesqe

#2 "I have just signed legislation outlawing the Soviet Union. We begin bombing in 30 minutes."
-R. Reagan, who never ordered the invasion of a country larger than Cuba, let alone twice, on the far side of the planet.

#3 Had Reagan disposed of Gaddafi and Hezbollah when they got up the Americans' sleeve,I very much doubt you'd be having these problems with Al-Qaeda and Saddam now.Of course,he had other worries at the time.

#4 I thought the jamming was coming from a Cuban station that the Russians set-up after teh Missile Crisis. Isn't it unlikely that Radio Shack still sells a Heath Kit that the Iranians could buy and assemble as a jamming station in Havana. -- then again maybe they contracted that Aussie that builds cruise missile in his garage.

Heath Kit! From the Holy City of Benton Harbor. Are they still around in any form? I still use some of the stuff I built in the early '70s.
