...took 18 months for Harvard to initially obtain the license, which must be renewed every year. In the fall semester of 2008, four Harvard students participated in this program. Christina M. Giordano ’10 was one of them. She said that although there were anti-American and anti-Bush sentiments in the media, the Cubans were very welcoming. “People were excited to find out there were Americans down there. It became more appealing to be a friend or significant other of an American,” she said. Giordano noted that many Cubans, who were...
...perhaps the key difference for Chávez at this summit is that he doesn't have George W. Bush to kick around anymore. Barack Obama, in fact, is the anti-Bush, a liberal welcomed by most of Latin America who is far harder for Chávez to attack as a yanqui imperialista. "I think Chávez may be trapped at the Trinidad summit," says Nikolas Kozloff, who endorses Chávez's social policies and is the author of Hugo Chávez: Oil, Politics and the Challenge to the U.S. "Populism thrives on conflict...

Obama previewed this line of reasoning on Monday, when he kicked off a fiscal summit at the White House. "For too long, our budget process in Washington has been an exercise in deception," Obama announced. "We do ourselves no favors by hiding the truth about what we spend." In specific terms, this means accounting for expenses like the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan as well as natural disasters as part of the normal budget process...
...other anti-U.S. strongmen out there, from North Korea to Iran, with whom Obama believes he should grit his teeth and engage in the interest of U.S. security. To avoid doing in Latin America what he deems sensible in the Middle East and Asia would repeat Washington's careless habit of treating the continent in ways that helped give rise to the Castros and Chávezes in the first place. The best way to disarm Chávez is to give him fewer "imperialist" targets to rail at. As the anti-Bush, Obama has an advantage in that...
